Help > Basics > Links > Links Overview
The Links feature simplifies how your team accesses resources. Think of Links as enhanced, shareable browser bookmarks.
Finding, compiling and sharing resources is a tedious task, especially because content is typically scattered across multiple tools, like Dropbox and Google Drive. That's where 'Links' comes in.
How it Works
- Add a ‘Link’ to direct collaborators to any content available online, including web pages or files stored on platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, Notion, Box—you name it.
- Create 'Collections' of 'Links' to group together items.
- Add important 'Links' on your 'Timeline' for easy reference.
Why use Links?
Links have the advantage of including annotations and visuals, and can easily be organized into Collections based on their relevance to specific projects or processes.
Better still, Links can be added to a visual Timeline that helps your team find content based on dates relevant to important milestones or meetings.
When to use Links
- For infrequently referenced, but important documents. It’s easy to lose track of where information lives in the myriad of folders, devices and apps we’ve all grown accustomed to using. Important content like quarterly reports and contracts can be helpful to centralize in Links rather than tracking them down in an email attachment months later.
- Whenever you begin working with someone new, either in your organization or with an outside contractor, it’s common to share resources like onboarding materials, company documents and past projects.
- Kicking off a new project
- Revisiting objectives and notes during a long-term project
