Internal Links & Smart Links

Smart Links make it easy to link from one page to another without leaving the editor. They provide an autocomplete search directly inside the Summernote link dialog.

Using Smart Links

In the editor, open the Link dialog (Insert toolbar group). At the top of the dialog, a Search pages field appears. Type at least two characters to search for pages by title. Matching results appear in a dropdown — click any result to fill its URL into the link field automatically.

Smart Links vs. file browser

The Search pages field searches active pages by title. The Browse files & pages button below opens the full file browser, which also has a pages panel on the right-hand side for the same purpose. Both methods produce the same type of link.

Link format

Internal page links use the format /pages/{id}. These links work correctly even if a page title changes, because the ID never changes.

Enabling Smart Links

Smart Links must be enabled in config/app.php via the enableSmartLinks setting. See Application Settings.
