There are a variety of ways you can utilize links on a B12 website, let's explore some of the key types we offer:

Existing page or section:

1. Select the Page or section to link to an existing page or section in your B12 website.

2. You can select the page or section from the drop-down under Links to, or you can search for it by name.

3. Sections are indicated by the Page name followed by | and the section name. Links to sections will scroll visitors directly to that spot on the page.
Example: Home | Menu overview section takes visitors to the Menu overview section on the Home page.

4. To link to a page only, choose an option without | Section name.
