Create links, in a document, to Showell content

When creating your document or presentation, you may want to include media files. However, these types of files are often attached and can only be properly viewed with the appropriate software. For example, a 3D element embedded in a PDF can only be viewed using a dedicated PDF reader like Adobe Acrobat. Similarly, a video embedded in a PowerPoint presentation may only work when presenting from MS Office PowerPoint.

To overcome these limitations, Showell offers the solution to "create Showell internal links in a document." This option allows you to avoid embedding the media directly into your document. Instead, you can upload the media files to Showell and create links within your document that point to these files. When you open the document in the Showell app, clicking on the link will open the corresponding file from within Showell.

By following this approach, you can ensure that your media files are easily accessible and viewable by anyone using Showell, regardless of the software they have installed.

With providing the following video as an example, we will guide you on how to embed a link within a documents toward a file stored in Showell:

1. Upload contents, such as 3D files or video

2. Open the content's setting and copy its link address. You can find the link address under the 'Filename & Link' Section

3. Navigate to the document you are working with, and add the copied link address to a text or image

4. Upload the document to Showell Admin

Result: As you open the document within the Showell App, you are now able to click the link text or image and the item will open within Showell. Using the 'back'-button, you can quickly go back to the document you are viewing
