A link is an active element on a page. When you click on it, an action is performed. Any navigation through the pages and almost all actions performed by the user are carried out with the help of links. Depending on the type, links can do the following:
- navigate through pages;
- open external resources;
- open and download documents and multimedia files;
- find elements with anchors within the current page and navigate to these elements.
In Nimbus Note, you can use different types of links for different cases: internal links to other pages, links to blocks inside pages, external links.
Internal links to other pages #
Mentions #
In Nimbus Note, you can mention a team member, page, folder, or even another workspace in your pages. If you mention a page, folder, or workspace, then clicking on it will take you to the specific item that was tagged.
To mention a page, just do the following.
- Click on the arrow in the editor to display More items.
- Select Mention or use @.
- Start typing the page title or manually select the page.
- Click on the mention and the selected page will automatically open.
Another way to link pages by mentions is creating a new page from selection.
- Select any part of text.
- Press Create page.
A new page with a title created from the highlighted text will be made. In your original page, there will be a mention that links to the new page.

Internal link to page #
Each page has an internal link, which only works for workspace members. You can find it in the page menu.
When you share a page with the internal link, users who are not authorized in Nimbus Note and are not members of your organization will not have an access to pages through the link.
- Right-click on the page in pages list.
- Select Copy internal link.
- Paste it inside a page in the desired place.
Links to blocks inside pages #
You can copy links to blocks inside a page to create anchors. An anchor is a bookmark with a unique name at a specific place on a web page, designed to link you to a specific point. Using anchors is convenient when working with large documents since it allows you to quickly jump to a desired section. When you click the link, the page will not only open but also take you to the specific anchor within the page (e.g. a title or photo).
- Press on the three dots next to the desired block.
- Select Copy link.
- Paste the link anywhere inside your page.
