Link Block
The Link Block component lets you add links to your CMS pages, with options for opening in a new tab and combining with other components like images.
What is the Link Block component?
The Link Block component lets you add links to your CMS pages. You can open links in a new tab and combine this block with other components, such as images.
Open the CMS editor where you want to add or edit a Link Block component.
Drag the Link Block component onto your page.
Enter the link URL, choose whether to open in a new tab, and combine with other components if needed.
Save your changes in the editor.
Please note nesting a custom banner with an active link, inside of a link block will create a nested link which may cause the components not to function correctly. It should be avoided where possible, by nesting images in link blocks if this functionality is needed or by using linkaround on a custom banner.
