Smart links go to the right article and version, even when a new version is published or
the URL name changes. You create smart links in your article’s rich text fields, so rich text
fields must be enabled.
In the rich text editor toolbar, click the Smart Link
icon.
Optional: Choose the publication status and, if your knowledge base has multiple languages, choose
the language.
In the Link to Article list, select an
article.
Optional: To specify how the smart link opens in public sites and Salesforce Classic, select the
target from the dropdown.
Optional: To specify how the link opens in Lightning Experience apps and consoles, select the
Lightning target.
Click Insert Link.
Smart links use more characters than what is displayed in the editor. If you see an error
that you have surpassed the character limit, have your administrator increase the limit.
Target Behavior for Smart Links You can specify how smart links open using the different types of target options. Understand the behavior of each option and how smart links created in Salesforce Classic behave in Lightning Experience.
