When I highlight some text and the click “Insert link” I am presented with the opportunity to write in a URL. In the top left there is a magnifying glass icon which I thought I could clikc and it would bring up a list of pages of my course that I can link to. Unfortunately it does not bring up such a list.

I have tried this in the ditor for a few different components.

Please help! Thank you. ![Capture1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/evolveauthoring/original/1X/9a6aedc727937c49584a1ff92131a1c211606e79.jpeg)

Hello @MrUKeLearningGuy,

The insert link tool you are using there doesn’t link to pages on a course. That is for external links.

If you would like to link between pages on the course please use the Links Component - this has the functionality to do what you’re trying to do.

I hope this helps,

Matt
