Insert Local Links

Direct your users to a specific location in the same topic by inserting a local link to an element in the same topic. For example, you can use local links to refer to a step element in a task topic or a section element in a concept topic.
  1. Open a topic and place your cursor where you want to insert a link.
  2. In the Content Editor toolbar, click Insert Link .
  3. In the Link dialog, from the Link To drop-down menu, select An Element in this file (Local link).
  4. Click Select Element.
  5. Select the element that you want to link to:
    1. In the Create/Edit Link dialog, click an element.
    2. From the list that appears, select the element.
    3. If prompted about an element ID value, click OK and Save.
      Tip:

      Heretto CCMS generates ID attribute values automatically, but you can modify them. ID attribute values must be unique. Assigning customized, meaningful values may boost consistency in your documentation.

    4. Click the Insert Content button.
You inserted a local link to an element in the same topic.
