How to create a hyperlink

 

To add a hyperlink to your Rich Text Module, you must be linking to another online page. Always double check that what your are linking to is viewable for public viewers. (i.e. if you share a Google document, can anyone with a link view the document, or if you are linking to your LinkedIn, are you linking to the View Public Profile url?)
