Step 2: Once your page content is ready, highlight the text that you want to turn into a hyperlink, then click the Insert link button in the toolbar.

Then, enter the URL you wish to link to in the Link to field. You can also provide a Link title, which will help users understand where the link leads and can also boost your page’s SEO.
