How to Link to an Internal Web Page

Links to internal web pages (web pages within your website) can be created within your text using the Text Editor. The example below shows how to add a link within the Body Text in the center content area of the web page.

Note: In order to create the Internal Link, you must first look up the RedDot Page ID of the page you want to link to. In Reddot navigate to the page you wish to link to and write down the foundation Page ID number. It is in parenthesis next to the foundation Open Page reddot under the logo. This Page ID will be used in the Page Search section in Step 7 below.
