Add, delete and manage hyperlinks

 

If you import documents that contain hyperlinks, the hyperlinks are available within NVivo. You can also add your own hyperlinks to documents, externals and memos.  

PDF or dataset sources may also contain hyperlinks—you can open (or follow) the hyperlink, but you cannot add, edit or delete hyperlinks in PDF or dataset sources.

What do you want to do?

 

Add a hyperlink

You can create hyperlinks to link to files or web pages outside your NVivo project.

  1. Open the source—you can only create hyperlinks in documents, memos and externals.
  2. Make sure you are in edit mode.
  3. Select the content you want to link from.
  4. On the Analyze tab, in the Links group, click Hyperlink, and then click New Hyperlink.

The New Hyperlink dialog box opens.

  1. Enter the web page address or click the Browse button to locate a file.
  2. Click OK.

NOTE Hyperlinks are broken when the destination file or web page is moved, renamed or deleted. If the  link occurs in many sources, it is recommended that you create one external to represent the website or file and link to the external from your sources—this way if a hyperlink becomes invalid, you need only update it in one location.
