Hi there,

I’m wondering if anyone can help me. I’m working on a build where a hyperlink has been added to an individual item in a checklist component - see attached. Where it says “Third Party Assessment” is a hyperlink.

I need to recreate this but I can’t figure out how it was original done and I can’t contact the person who built the course. There is no option to create a hyperlink, and I’ve tried pasting in text with a hyperlink already created but that doesn’t work either.

Its’ obviously possible as I say, but I’m stumped. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

**EDIT**  
I thought it’d be useful to show this as well. If I look at the course preview code you can see the link that is associated with the words “Third Party Assessment”. Full link hidden for privacy.

For anyone interested, the solution to this is as follows - use any standard text editor inside the Evolve builder where you can insert a hyperlink. Then select this text, copy and paste into the checklist component item - hyperlink retained, problem solved. Hats off to @Andy_Moorman for figuring it out
