How to I link one loop page to another?

Question

hi Loop team! Great to see the product out there; congrats!

Say, I'd like to (easily?) link from one (Sub-) page to another. Can I do so?

Answer 1

This is notetaking 101.

Why do you not make it a simple way to link to another page in the same workspace without having to leave the page you are working on? Even OneNote could do this. Come on Microsoft. Fix this quickly.

Answer 2

Hi there! You can link to another Loop page in a few ways:

1. Type @ in the canvas to search for the page and insert it
2. On the sidebar hover the page, click the ... menu, and click "share page link" and paste it into your page

a. If you want to add another page as a Loop component, select "share as Loop component"

3. Navigate to the page you want to add. Go to the Share button and select "page link" and paste it into your original page.

a. if you want to add this page as a Loop component, select "Loop component"

Answer 3

For me @ doesn't search anything other than people. No files, no pages

Answer 4

thanks Jake!

some observations; for the product team maybe....:

1: sounds like the way to go from a way of generating a link. But. there is a very considerable delay on another page being available. So, could not create a page and then link to it from another (I waited a few minuted and then indeed it showed up after typing "@"). Should (IMHO) be instant.

Also, while indeed it does link after a while, it does not generate a nice and modest link, but a large "section" (I'd like to use it inline, like HTML). See screenshot below. Also, upon clicking the link, I don't move within the Loop app to the clicked page, but the browser opens a webview to a Sharepoint page (Granted, its the right page, but staying withing Loop is more intuitive).

2 and 3 both seem to do the same (like it's the same solution). And the good: it is an inline link, which stays within the Loop app (albeit in a new tab, which if I wanted that, I would handle that myself). But... both options make a link button "shared via SharePoint" (and have no option to rename to the actual URL). Am I overlooking a way for that link to have a different text field?

Oh, and there seems to be a "4th way", which almost overcomes my above objections:

4. Copy the URL to the page, just like in option 2&3. Then type the text of the page you care to link to. Select that text, click the 3-dots in the context menu. Click "Link" and paste the URL in there. It will present the link, very easily recognisable as a link, within the flow of the document. Nice. But (...); the link does not respond to a left-mouse-click... To use it, I have to right-click and 'open link', a left-mouse link opening would be nice and elegant...

thanks!!

hi @jjl619 - see my response; it is not instant; give it 10 minutes for the page to show up...
