How to Insert a Link

You can insert a hyperlink into any section of text within a project, as well as being able to link your logo to an external website.

Insert a Link in Text

Section titled “Insert a Link in Text”

Create hyperlinks to external pages in your surveys and quizzes.

The text formatting toolbar above a highlighted word, showing Bold, Italic, bullet list, numbered list, variable, and link icons

  1. Highlight the text you wish to link
  2. A formatting toolbar appears above the selection — select the link icon
  3. Enter a URL in the box that appears
  4. Click the checkmark to save

Links now open in a new tab automatically when a respondent clicks them — there’s no ‘Open Link in New Tab’ checkbox to set.

Section titled “Removing a Link”

Clicking a linked word shows a small popup with the target URL, an edit (pencil) icon, an unlink icon, and an open-in-new icon

  1. Click the hyperlinked text
  2. A small popup appears showing the link’s URL — select the unlink icon (a chain-link with a slash through it)

The link will then be removed from the text. The same popup also has a pencil icon to edit the URL, and an ‘open in new tab’ icon to test the link.

Section titled “Add a Link to your Logo”

The Change Logo popup, with Change and Remove buttons and an 'On click go to web address' field

  1. Add a logo
  2. Click the logo to open the ‘Change Logo’ popup
  3. Enter a URL into the ‘On click go to web address:’ field

Note: Whenever a respondent clicks your logo, they will be redirected to the website you linked.

To remove this link, simply click the logo again and clear the URL from the field.
