# Create Links

## This article explains how you add an external link to your project and how you create links from one element to another element in Collaboard.

### *Copy link*

Copy the link of any object:

The link will look like

```
https://web.collaboard.app/collaboard/165499#3c138f90-b6a2-4678-899d-e318e96
```

It will directly point to its object on the board you copied it from.

### Create *Link to*

To add a link to an element in Collaboard, select this element and click the menu bar on the three dots. Now choose "Link to":

You have now 3 options to create a link to this object:

### 1.Quick Link

Select an existing Quick link from your project. Click on the button and select the Quick link to create it.

### 2.Object Link

Click on "Select object" and choose an object (or a  group of objects from your project to create the link). The object you create a link for is displayed with a green checkmark, and when you select another object, it gets a grey frame around it.

Click on the object you want to link to and click on the button

![](https://help.collaboard.app/hubfs/image-png-Nov-14-2021-09-27-14-00-AM.png)

Now you created the link, and the object linked to the other one shows an icon above it. To jump to the link, click on this icon.

### 3.Web Link

Enter a web address to link an object with an external website. 

Tip: You can add the link to another Collaboard project, for example, for a breakout board.
