Are you able to set links between documents that are relative? For example if I have DocA and DocB, where DocB contains a link to DocA. If I make a copy of DocA→ DocA2 and a copy of DocB→ DocB2, is there I can have DocB2 link to DocA2 without having to remap the links? (e.g. if the documents all exist in a folder, can I set a relative path that determines which document to reference in the link?) 

 

Thank you for your help! 

Hi ​@ksv 

Relative linking is not achievable as per your requirement.

  • Links in Lucidchart are typically absolute URLs, which means they reference the specific document based on its unique identifier in the Lucidchart system.
  • When you duplicate documents (e.g., DocA → DocA2 and DocB → DocB2), the links in DocB2 will still point to the original DocA unless manually updated.

You can use hotspots or actions to create links within the same document. For linking to another document, you would need to update the link manually if the documents are moved or renamed.
