Note

You must use the sharing URL, not the browser URL. The browser URL will not work when you try to open the document from an idea on your Board.

  1. On your Board, locate the idea that contains the link 1.

  2. Double-click the idea,
    OR
    Open the idea menu and select Open the link in Board 2 from the sticky toolbar.

How to View and Edit the Linked Document

When you open the link in the Board, the document appears in a window on top of your Board.

From this window, you can:

  • View the document
  • Edit the document (if your permissions allow it)
  • Open it in a new tab
  • Switch to full screen

  • Close the window to return to your Board
