Get Started With Internal & External Links

Purpose

As a system administrator, you can create Links. These links can point either to a page within Clew (internal link) or to an external resource outside of Clew (external link).

Internal and external links work the same way. Just ensure that your audience can access the linked page and are not blocked from viewing it.

You can create, enable, and disable a link. However, you can't delete a link, only disable it.
