This page tells you how to add a link to your Confluence page. A link, or hyperlink, is a word or phrase which, when clicked, will direct the user to another web page or other location.

Wiki Markup mode and Rich Text editor

You can click the 'Insert Link' icon in either Wiki Markup mode or the Rich Text editor. The functionality described below is basically the same for both editing modes.

To create a new link,

  1. Click the 'Insert Link' icon '' in the tool bar. The 'Link Properties' screen will appear.

  2. In the 'Link' text box, enter the URL (location) of the link.
    Use the tabs to help you find the URL:
    • Search – Search the spaces in your Confluence site for a particular term or phrase, then select your link location from the search results.
    • History – Select your link location from recently-visited pages.
    • Recently Modified – Select your link location from pages recently modified by yourself or other Confluence users.
    • External Link – Enter the URL of an external location.
    • Attachments – Select one of the attachments to the current page. You can also browse for a file and attach it to the page, then select it to create the link.
  3. If you want your link to display specific words on the page, rather than the actual URL, enter the desired text in the 'Alias' text box.

  4. If you want your link to display a short popup help tip, enter the desired text in the 'Tooltip' text box.

  5. Click the 'OK' button to add the link.
