There are two 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. Paste the link wherever you want

Document links are permanent. They stay valid after your community moves to Resources, and older /wiki/… links redirect to the same document at its new /resources/… address, so anything you shared before the update keeps working.

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 document with the correct link.

Why link to a document?

Here are a few common use cases:

• Link a document in a welcome post or onboarding flow

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

• Connect documents across your course lessons or announcements

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

Sharing a whole Resource outside your community

The links above point at a single document inside your community. If you want to share a Resource with people who are not members, publish it publicly first. A publicly published Resource gets its own short link at /r/<name>. To copy it, click the three-dot menu on the Resource card and choose Share.
