What is a URL/Link and how do I share it.

URL is an acronym that stands for "Universal Resource Locator." It's the text that you type into your browser when you want to go to a website.


You can copy the link to a website/page in most browsers and other programs by right-clicking or tapping-and-holding the link and choosing the copy option. Most web browsers display the URL/Web address above the page in an address bar.

 


Now that you have the URL/Web address copied you can paste it in a message or use it to create a hyperlink on the website. ( Please see the KB for creating a hyperlink)

Right-click in the area you want to paste the URL/Web address and select paste. 

Please see the image below to see what it looks when sending a link through Gmail.  The recipient of this message will be able to click the link and be directed to the website provided.
