How to create hyperlinks to other tabs in the Lucidchart document

Hi Kofi

Thanks for your post! Are you attempting to create a shareable link or a published URL? 

Hi Adam

I want to create a hyperlink that automatically links you to another tab in the file...

Is there a way to add a hyperlink to an external source in a Lucidchart?

Hey Shayna links can connect to another page within the document an external page or an email prompt. Follow these steps to create a simple link:

1. Highlight the text or select the object you want to turn into a link.
2. Click on the links icon in the toolbar at the top of the editor. 
3. A window will appear with the option to select a link action. Choose what you would like to link to. Follow the prompt and add the URL
4. Click “Apply.”

If you hover over the linked object or text a tool tip appears suggesting that you hold Shift+Ctrl (Shift+Command for Mac). When you follow that suggestion you’ll notice that linked objects glow green. Click the object to initiate the action.

Once a link is connected to an object just right-click the object to change the link. You can also click the link icon again to edit it.

Please note: links are not currently supported on mobile browsers.

Hello. Is there a way to hyperlink in Lucidchart to an external document like a word document?

My apologies if this has already been asked and answered I couldn't quite understand the replies.

Thanks in advance

Hi Leigh

You are able to place any URL in the action field pictured above. So if you use Word online and have a document URL you'd like to link to you can definitely link to a Word document! 

Hi!

In reading several different posts I want to first make sure my verbiage is correct. Hyperlinks are called Hotspots in Lucidchart correct? 

I need to understand how to create two different types of hotspots/hyperlinks in Lucidchart:

1. Well actually I know how to connect a hyperlink to a shape 
2. What I don't know is how do I create separate hyperlinks for each line of blue text in this box?

Thanks! Jackie

Hi Jacqueline thanks for posting in the community! 

To clarify hotspots are shapes to which you attach an action such as directing you to an email another file or web page. You can learn more about creating and utilizing this feature in this Actions and Hotspots article. 

To create separate hyperlinks for different lines of text please follow these steps for each separate line:

1. Select the word(s) that you want to link an action to. 

2. Select "More" in the upper right-hand corner.

3. Choose the Link  button. 

4. Provide details on what link you would like added to that text 

Hope this helps! Please let us know if we can do anything else to support your work. 

I want to prepare a presentation in Lucid chart that has a number of slides.   From some of the slides I want to click on an object and go to an URL on a new tab.  After seeing that site I want to come back to the presentation at the slide where I left the presentation.

So far I have:

1. Made my slides.
2. Picked the appropriate object and entered the Link to Web.
3. Invoked the link from build chart view.  It works fine and if I close the new tab I go back to the build chart view.

 In present mode the link also works.  I get the new tab and the requested site.  However when I close the tab I go back to build chart view.  I am no longer in presentation mode.  This destroys the flow of my presentation.

Any ideas about how I could get what I want?  I even tried sending the presentation to Google slides.  The link did not work at all then.
