How do I add a link in Contribute?

1. Open Contribute on your computer
2. Navigate to the page where you want to add the link.
3. Click "Edit Page" in the upper left-hand corner of your screen.
4. The menu items at the top of your screen change once you are in the edit mode. "Edit Page" and "New Page" have now been replaced with "Publish," "Send For Review," "Save For Later," and "Discard Draft." Next to Discard Draft are "link," "image," and "table." Highlight the text on the page you would like to link and then click "Link" at the top of the page.
5. Contribute will provide a dropdown list of "Drafts and Recent Pages," "Create New Page," "Browse to Web Page," "Email Address," and "File On My Computer." Click "Browse to Web Page." A new window will appear. Here, the text that you have highlighted will appear under "link text." The next box says URL address, which is where you would type the address of the page you want to link if you know it.
6. If you do not know the address of the page you want to link to your website, you have two options. The first option is "Browse" to the page by clicking the browse button, which will allow you to browse just as you do on your Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox web browser. The second option is to "Choose" the page that currently exists on your website that you want to link. To do this, you click the "Choose" button on the secondary window and highlight and click on the page listed that you want to link.
7. Once you have completed one of the above options, the web address you plan to link on your web page will appear in the box titled "Web Address URL." Once that is complete, click "OK."
8. You have now successfully created a link. For the link to be live, click "Publish."
