All navigation between web pages is done using hyperlinks. The hyperlinks can be created implicitly as is the case for menus or they can be created explicitly (eg. manually).

 

Since implicitly created links are created automatically, there no need to discuss them (later, however, components will be discussed).

 

Hyperlinks are created when placing an action on a piece of text. The text becomes a hyperlink which the user can click on to perform some action, such as navigation to a new page.

 

An action can't be used by itself. It must be applied to a piece of content.

Start editing the Welcome page

 

 

The action button, which is located on the toolbar

 

 

 Select the bold text "mathematical analysis" and click the action button

Select Products in the Select Document Dialog.

The text "Mathematical Analysis" is now a hyperlink.
