How to create hyperlinks to other tabs in the Lucidchart document

Hi Brian 

Thanks for continuing this thread! Unfortunately returning to Lucidchart in presentation mode after navigating to an external link in a different tab is not currently possible. However I certainly understand how that functionality would be helpful for your presentation flow.

We’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products. If you’re willing to share, we’d love to hear more details about your use case or what you’d like to see in this experience posted in the Product Feedback section of the community - from here, other users can upvote it and add details of their own.

For more information on how Lucid manages feedback via this community, take a look at this post.

You are also correct that the hyperlink is not maintained within the presentation upon export to Google Slides. However if you export your presentation and then recreate the link within Slides you will be able to do what you're hoping - navigate to an external link and return to your slides while still in presentation mode. Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

I tried what you suggest using Google Slides.  I exported to Slides and added my links.  I could not make it work completely.  I could go to the external site OK.  But when I came back from the internet site I was in Slides build mode not Slides presentation mode.

Then I tried Powerpoint.   It worked a treat.  I now can show off in a very flashy presentation.

My resolutions now are LucidChart for diagrams (including some very large diagrams) and Powerpoint for presentations.

Thanks

Brian

@micah b101 Every time I highlight a word to create a hyperlink it defaults to the shape. What is weird is that I was previously able to create 4 hyperlinks on specific words and then it stopped working. Your example where you link Lucidchart in the pink shape is exactly what I want to do. Would my account type impact what I can link?

@f3 bono s Hi there thanks for continuing this thread! Apologies for the trouble you're having creating a hyperlink with your text. Can you provide more detail about what you mean when you say "it stopped working"? Are you no longer able to highlight the specific text you want or are you having trouble with the whole menu when attempting to add the web link? Or are you saying that despite selecting your desired text and adding the web link it is applying it to the whole shape instead? If you can share a screenshot of your final result where it has defaulted to the shape that would be so helpful!

Hi!

I used to be able to create different hyperlinks within one shape. For example in the shape below I could create a hyperlink for fluids electrolytes and allopurinol. Now when I highlight one word and click on the lighting bolt icon and insert my URL for my hyperlink I have found that my other hyperlinks are removed. Is there something I need to be doing differently? Thank you! 

Hi Jaqueline

Thank you for continuing the thread! When adding the links make sure to highlight just the word you want to add the action to. If the action was successfully linked the text will become underlined. You can repeat this action for each word. 

If you are still unable to add the hyperlinks without the other hyperlinks being removed please follow up in this thread so that we can take a closer look.
