Document exchange has almost completely moved into the realm of electronic document management. Among other huge advantages, we can mention one more - the ability to add hyperlinks directly to the body of the document with the ability to follow it in one click. Presentations, portfolios, reports, and even contracts - now each of these documents can actually become your business card page. The active link will be available in both Google Docs and PDF files.
Why it is important and how to optimally apply modern technology.
Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks - in this regard, we mean the use of a link like https://surl.li/. We recommend using this type of link in contracts and official documents. When it comes to the fulfillment of certain conditions specified on the company's website, links to additional terms and conditions, or if the contract concerns the website domain itself. It is critically important to clearly indicate the link. After all, it may be of key importance to the contract in the future. For convenience, you can easily make such a reference a hyperlink.
Anchors
Anchors are hyperlinks that are not assigned to a url but to a specific word. You can often see it in the format “here”, “on the page”, “by the link”, hidden behind the call to action “go”, “visit”, “read”. SEO specialists can use hyperlinks to highlight the keywords they need for promotion. In general, this type of links is advisable to use in presentations, Google docs, portfolios, and other documents where design is more important than technical and legal features. The use of anchors will allow you to fill the page with any number of links, mark headings, stimulate the transition, or mark keywords in the text. An anchor is a convenient way to create a perfect electronic document.
Short link
Short links are an analogue of the original long links, when you need to insert a link to a Google Docs, an online store page or social media, you may encounter an unpleasant experience when one link can take several lines of text, be incorrectly transferred, be inactive due to an error or an accidentally “cut” link, some messengers may not even miss such a link. In this case, feel free to shorten the link and paste its shortened counterpart into the file.
We should also mention a great feature that allows you to change the ending link in a previously created short link. Imagine you have distributed a PDF file with a link to a price list or news, and you won't be able to change this link on hundreds of remote devices. But by adding a short link to such a file, you can change its redirect, leaving the short link completely intact.
