Inserting graphical links into content

When linking to content outside your digital workplace, you can use graphical links instead of text-based links. Except for HTML widgets, microblog posts, comments, and other locations that use the compact WYSIWYG editor, you can insert a graphical link using the Embed Link tool on the WYSIWYG editor's toolbar.

A graphical link typically shows an image from the article and some text; this will depend on the content provider being linked to. In addition to providing navigation to the full content, graphical links display social media sharing buttons when hovering over the link.

Not all links to external content providers can be made into graphical links. For a list of officially supported content providers, see Providers.
