CC Express Post - adding external link

[Jasmine Pun]

Hi there! Just wondering if I create a poster by using CC Express, can I add any 'link' onto it so as to direct my viewers for more information about the text on it? Thanks a lot!

Hi Jasmine,

Thanks for reaching us.

I'd like to inform you that with Adobe Express, adding hyperlinks within projects is not possible. However, you may use other Adobe apps to add hyperlinks to text in PDF exported from Adobe Express.

You may also refer to this community link for more related info: https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express-discussions/active-link-on-template/td-p/13039318

Let us know if this helps.

Looking forward to some new updates of Adobe Express in the future, though it's alreay good enough.

Hi Amitej

Let me have some updates here. I have recently created a poster to add a QR code so I find it useful in letting people know about the details of the event. It helps.

Thanks Amtej!

I am trying to add a hyperlink to a youtube channel in a flyer I am creating for electronic distribution. I could not find an option in adobe express to do this, however I know it was possible in Adobe Spark. Just wondering if anyone knows if you can do this in Express or not, thanks!

Hi @MSUuser1 

Within Adobe Express, adding hyperlinks to projects isn't possible. You may use other adobe apps like Adobe Acrobat Pro Dc to include hyperlinks to the texts. 

Referring to this community link may give you more info: https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express-discussions/cc-express-post-adding-external-link/m-p/13...

I hope this helps.

Well that's no good, the whole point of social media is sharing from your website so you would need to be able to hyperlink your posts.  Is my understading correct, that you cant actually do this. I would appreciate a prompt reply from someone asap.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is some kind of workaround.

You can place a "Button" anywhere in the Page. For a Button you can give URL and a Name (e.g. "Link to youtube - klick HERE") and so you can built a "Link-Button". Hope that helps.

[Jenny28750574qc73]

Thanks but where do I find the option to add a button, I can't see it anywhere??

[Henrik Heigl]

Hi,

when you are in the Webpage you want to create you click on the "Plus" Sign and then you have the choices.

There you choose the Button and then you can place the Link in there. Hope that helps.

[Jenny28750574qc73]

Thanks Henrik but I dont understand, I am currently in the Adobe Express creating a post, it allows me to put content but when I add the hyperlink it shows a big long text but no small link. You are saying to go to website page I want to link to, and add a button there, how will that help me send people from my adobe express post to my webpage??? Thanks

[Henrik Heigl]

Hi,

I see the missunderstanding.

The "normal" Adobe Express Projects like Posters, Flyers, etc. are ment as some kind of picture. you always produce a JPG or PNG. Such a project is always a kind of picture. This can never contain a link. This can either be packed into the corresponding text on Instagram, Linkedin, etc. using a scheduler, or you can create an Adobe Express webpage as a project. You can not place a link directly in to the Project (yet). Hope that helps.

Hello,
I am trying to add a hyperlink in my presentation. My professor said I needed to use the tool "add a button" and I would be able to post my link and its name, and it would just be able to be clicked on and then it would navigate to that page. Thank you again.

[Tarun Saini]

Hi 

@Scarlett36004547lmrg

,

Thanks for reaching out. I would like to inform you that adding links and text buttons is supported on the webpage but not in the presentation.

Regards,

Tarun

How disappointing to learn you can't add hyperlinks in Adobe Express.  It makes the software so much less useful in this web connected world we live in.  Time for an update Adobe! Listen to your customers.

[NICOLE30747770yfhu]

I've used QR codes. Try that.

[jay_rush]

This is pretty disappointing to launch this "new" service without the ability to add the hyperlink and my apologies but QR code is not a solution for this case.

[fierce_lionheart2533]

This absolutely does not help. With the objective of being able to create social media posts, reels, etc. and now to be able to schedule them in the scheduler, but without the ability to add hyperlinks???? It's ridiculous. 

Although you can type out the entire https link as text and when it posts, FB or Insta converts it to a link, but this is not ideal. I added a critical upvote to a Hyperlink request in Adobe feedback on how to improve Express.

Thank you for contacting us.

I want to let you know that Adobe Express does not support the feature of adding hyperlinks within projects. However, you can utilize other Adobe applications to insert hyperlinks into text within PDF files exported from Adobe Express.

I've seen the comments regarding adding links. It seems that's not available. I got to the end of my flyer before I learned this 😞. You can add links in canva and, after comparing both, I feel canva is perhaps a bit easier to use. I'm generally an Adobe person so was excited to try this but won't be returning to express until links are possible in the app. 

[dev_paige]

Same here, I am working on a newsletter to share with faculty and staff at my college. I need to be able to add links to the newsletter for them to click and follow. I'll be using Canva unless Adobe gets this feature added, which is a shame because I really enjoy using Adobe. 

[Tracy35446423jsnx]

Thank  you paulis-w im off to canva too.

Whoa.... saw this just in time before subscribing to Express... no link in a 'shared' online doc?  B'bye
