Adobe InDesign: How to insert a hyperlink

1. You can insert a hyperlink using the hyperlink panel. You open the tool via the Window> Interactive> Hyperlinks menu.
2. The window also shows you a list of all the hyperlinks that already exist in the current document.
3. Behind the respective links you can also see via traffic light signals for URL availability whether the link also works.
4. Other links within the document are also listed, for example the link "send by email".
5. From this you can already see that you cannot just link to a URL. The Internet protocols "//", "file: //", "ftp: //" and "mailto: //" are available for selection.

To simplify the design of your project, there are numerous templates for InDesign available for download.
