So the last grouping of items that you can add to your website is at the bottom here. And if you'll notice, it says docs, slides sheets, it has the individual Google products. The difference between this section and this section is if you click on this one, it brings up everything in your drive. So PDFs, slideshows, documents, sheets, like all the documents in your drive. Here, they break it down for you. So if you know you have a slideshow, you can just click on slides, and it will filter out only your slides.

So you'd have to go through everything. If you know that you have a document, you can click on docs, and it'll bring up just the docs. Maybe you have a chart from something on a Google Sheet, and you can insert the chart. But this will not bring up PDFs or videos. So that's when you'd have to go to your drive. So those are the things that you can add onto a page.

I'm going to go back to my homepage and one of the other things options you have is to make things a link. So let's say I want whatever text is going to be here after the word dogs or maybe even just one word to be a link. I want this to go to a page about dogs in general. So if I click on the text, and I highlight the text, and then I click on this link option, there are two options. I can have this go to an external link to a website other than this one, or do a page that I have in my website. So I want this to go to external link.

So I already did this research. And let's say I wanted to go to this webpage. I'm going to copy this URL with a Ctrl C. I'm going to go back to my website, and I'm going to paste it Ctrl V. Then I have to hit Apply. So it's telling me now that there is a link there. But like with the videos and with the slideshow, you can't test it in the preview mode or in the editing mode. So I'm going to go to preview And I want to check and see it, put the line underneath it, so you know that it's a link, click on this.

And it's going to bring me to that website. You can also have text or an image link to another page within your site. So I'll come to the bottom and let's say I want this picture. Sorry, I have to come out of preview mode. I want this picture to link to the golden retriever page. So now I click on the link, I choose the golden retriever page puts it there, I'm going to hit Apply.

Now, when I go to preview, when I click on that picture, it'll bring me right to the golden retriever page. So you can have links to other pages within your site.
