How to add links to files and pages with Weebly?

You have the option to upload and link to pretty much any kind of document, allowing a visitor to download it to their computer. You can link to a file by highlighting the text you want to link or clicking on an image and choosing the link option. You can also make images or icons click-able, sending your visitors to a different web page on you site or an external site. 

 

Make a text click-able

To add a link to a text, select the text and klick on the link-icon, it'll look like this:

 

Make an image click-able

Click on the image and choose Link in the editing options, it'll look like this:

 

Define the link

Both image and text links will open a dialog box like the one shown below.

Click on File and select the file you want to link to. You can upload a new file or use one that you've uploaded in the past. If you scroll up in the dialog box you'll see a search field you can use to locate a previously uploaded file by name. Note that this search works only with files you've uploaded using the link setting, and won't be able to search files or media added directly to an element on your site.

 

Define how the link opens

You can choose to have your linked file open in a new window, but keep in mind that not all file types can be opened in a browser. If the visitor's browser doesn't have the ability to display the file, it will attempt to download the file instead.
