Practical guide

Build an internal link between a guide and a relevant product resource

An internal link should help the reader perform the next relevant task rather than interrupt the guide with an unrelated promotion.

An internal link should help the reader perform the next relevant task rather than interrupt the guide with an unrelated promotion.

A practical procedure

  1. Identify the question the reader will likely need next.

  2. Choose a destination that actually answers that question.

  3. Use descriptive link text and verify the destination before publishing.

Worked example: a fictional session

A fictional measurement guide links to the current dimension table after explaining how to measure the available shelf space.

Check the limits

A relevant-looking title is insufficient if the destination lacks the promised information.
