This article will show you how to add a link to Quick Links.
Best Practices
Category and link titles should be intuitively named.
Do not use the names of departments, breadcrumbs, etc. if they don’t make sense on their own.
Indicate file extensions at the end of links.
Examples: PDF, PPT, XLS, HTML
Open all documents and files in a new window.
All links to other pages within the same website or links to external URLs should open in the same window.
When using the widget in the Feature Column retain the default menu title, Quick Links.
Important Note:
Quick Links do not have to be alphabetized. Customers may sometimes put the most important link at the top of a list.
