Buttons can link to an external webpage, an email address, or an internal location in your course. You can also modify them to let learners in LMS courses exit the course altogether.
Link to an External Webpage
From an existing button block, click Edit or click the button whose label you want to change.
Choose Link to a webpage from the Destination drop-down list.
Enter the URL address of the page to which you’d like to link. Now, when learners click the button, a new tab will open in their browser and take them to the specified webpage.
Keep in mind that when you hyperlink to another Lesson within a course, that it's a one-way only link.
Once the hyperlink has been followed by a learner, there is no quick way for them to return to where the hyperlink originated as there is no related "back" function.
It sounds like you want to hyperlink to a specific block within a lesson. We're tracking requests for that feature, so thanks for letting us know you need it!

They can use the side menu to return to a lesson.
I was more referring to things like sub-lessons, etc.
Hi Harry,

Thanks Alyssa :)
It would be very cool to have a hyperlink to anywhere. People are so used to using these with websites, manuals, email, indexes, etc.
