Adding Link Sets

Updated

Link Sets are clickable thumbnails that link to other pages, websites or even to open an email application to send a message.

What can I link to?

Link Sets allow you to link to the following types of pages within your Format portfolio site:

  • Gallery Pages

  • Custom Pages (e.g. About or Contact)

  • Store Pages (Product Listing or Individual Product Pages)

  • Blog Posts

  • Client Galleries

You can also link to an external website or add an email address that, when clicked, will launch the viewer's email application (if configured).
