There are two easy ways to link to a document inside your Heartbeat community:

Option 1: Use the Permalink

1. Open the document

2. Click the three-dot menu in the top right corner

3. Select Permalink

4. Copy the link and paste it wherever you want

This is great for linking a doc in a post, a thread comment, a course, or an external message.

Option 2: Use the Dollar Sign Shortcut

If you're linking a document inside Heartbeat, just type $ in any comment or post. A menu will appear. Start typing the name of the document and select it from the list.

Heartbeat will automatically insert a clean embed-style preview of that doc with the correct link.

Why Use Document Permalinks?

Here are a few common use cases:

• Link a resource doc in a welcome post or onboarding flow

• Reference a how-to guide when answering member questions in chat

• Connect docs across your course lessons or announcements

• Quickly surface a doc for your mods or admins to review
