Insert a Link to Another Lesson in the Same Manual
This lesson will show you how to link from one lesson in a manual to another lesson in the same manual.
Open a Lesson in a Manual
You can only link between lessons that are in the same manual.
Select Text
Select the text that you would like to link from.
Click On Link Button
Select Lesson
In the Link dialog that opens select the Manual Lesson tab (1).
Next, select on the lesson you would like to link to (2) and click OK.
The text will now link to that lesson. If you hover over the text then the name of the lesson the text links to will appear as a tooltip.
If you CMD + click the link on Mac, or ALT + click the link on Windows while editing the manual lesson then the lesson the text links to will be opened for editing.
Thanks for releasing this much requested feature! I can't wait to give 2.8 a spin. Great product.
Very nice feature. Now if only "links" would work for the export destination. :-)
Great Feature!!
Is it possible to insert HREF-anchors in a lesson which are available in a HTML-export?
I am preparing a manual for a program of us and could use some links to details inside a lesson for context-help.
Thanks
Jochen
@Michael -
I am not sure what you mean by working for the export destination. Can you clarify?
@Jochen -
You can't edit id tags directly for steps, but they are automatically added to the step HTML output. You would need look up the id you need for the file you are linking to and build the link yourself.
If you find you are having to do a lot of that though you should probably be splitting you your lessons into smaller segments. The idea is to have a lot of short lessons, not just a few long ones. Having a bunch of smaller lessons makes the linking between lessons work much better.
