# Making Links

In map view, a link widget appears beneath each selected note.

To make a link, click the link widget and drag the link to its destination.

If the destination is not conveniently to hand, drag the link to the parking space in the upper right-hand corner of the window.

After the link is parked, locate the destination. Then, click the parking space and drag the link to its destination.

## Text Links

Links may also be anchored to any span of text inside a note. To make a text link, select the text you wish to link. Then, click on the text link parking space above the text pane and drag the link to its destination — or to the main parking space.

In Read mode, clicking on a text link follows the link, or, if it’s a Web link, opens the link in your browser. If you want to edit linked text, option-click in the link to set the insertion point without following the link.

## Guard Fields

To edit the guard field of a link:

- Select the source of the link
- Click the link’s info button (the “i” icon at the link’s midpoint)
- Edit the guard field and press [Return]
