How to Add and Remove Links

Text links

  1. Once you have already checked out the page and started editing, highlight the text that you want to add a link. Double-clicking a word will select the word. Triple-clicking a word will select the paragraph. Shift + Arrow keys will shrink/expand the selected text one character at a time. Shift + CTRL (Windows)/CMD (Mac) + Arrow keys will shrink/expand the selection one word at a time.

Email links

Similar to adding a link you can also add a link to an email address (mailto link).
