Edit Link

Modify existing links by updating their titles and URLs

What is the Edit Link Page?

The Edit Link page allows you to modify existing external links in your portal or kiosk displays. You can update the link's display title, change the target URL, and save your changes to apply the updates immediately.

The form is pre-filled with the current link information, making it easy to see what needs to be changed. You can modify either the title or URL, or both, and the changes will be applied when you save. The link will continue to use your configured background and text colors for consistent branding.
