You can create and edit hyperlinks in a Symphony chat room in 3 ways:
- From the message field.
- From the Rich Text Editor in Compose mode.
- From pasting an existing link into a chat room.
From the message field, enter your message, highlight the text you wish to become a hyperlink and select add hyperlink from the formatting options that appear (Figure 1):

When the message is sent, the selected text will now be a hyperlink.

When the message is sent, the selected text will now be a hyperlink.
Note: By hovering over a hyperlink, a URL preview allows you to verify the address that is behind the link.
Finally, you can paste an existing hyperlink from another document, for example a word processing document or a PDF, directly into a Symphony chat room and it will retain the original hyperlink.
Note: If you wish to correct any errors in the the hyperlink after it is generated, selecting delete or backspace will delete the entire hyperlink, not just the error. To correct an error, place the cursor immediately after the hyperlink and select Ctrl + Z.
