  4. Choose the page you’d like to link to from the list. The editor automatically finds the node number for the page, which is the unique ID of each page on our website. By linking to a page’s node number, even if its URL changes, the existing links to it won’t break.

    After choosing a page from the suggested list, the link is automatically formatted into

    After choosing a page from the suggested list, the link is automatically formatted into /node/xxx

  5. If the page you’re trying to link to is a webform, or for some reason it doesn’t show up in the suggested list, type its URL after “lib.arizona.edu” in the text box. For example, if you’re linking to the Request instructional help form, you only need to copy and paste “/teaching/instructional-support/request” into the URL text box to add the link. Make sure the first forward slash / is included.

  6. For links to pages on the previous UAL site (meaning, any page that’s on new.library.arizona.edu) or to other websites, copy and paste the full URL into the URL text box.

  7. If you’re signed in as a content manager, make sure you’re copying and pasting URLs from the live website, not the admin URLs, as these won’t work for users. You can still include the part after the “pantheonsite.io” in the URL, e.g. “/catalyst/equipment” in “https://live-ua-libraries-website.pantheonsite.io/catalyst/equipment.”
