Cross-References and Links
Links and cross-references are used for different purposes in Paligo:
-
Cross-references are usually a type of link that points inside the publication. This means that the source topic and the target topic are both included in the publication. However, a cross-reference can also reference Paligo content outside the publication (cross-publication links) when supported by outputs like Zendesk or Fluid Topics.
-
Link points outside the publication, like a website or documents stored on the web.
We recommend that you only use cross-references where necessary. This is because with cross-references, you create dependencies. If one topic links to another, both of those topics need to be included in a publication, otherwise the link will not work. As a result, the topics are dependent on each other and this makes it more difficult to reuse them independently.
Tip
If you already have a cross-reference and you need to change it, see Edit a Cross-Reference.
