| [[File:VisualEditor - Toolbar - Linking.png|thumb|border|300px|center]]
| Links can be added through the "{{int:visualeditor-annotationbutton-link-tooltip}}" icon (links in a chain) in the toolbar, or by using the shortcut {{key press|Ctrl|K}} on PC (or {{Key press|Command|K}} on a [[Mac]]). If you select (highlight) text and then press the "{{int:visualeditor-annotationbutton-link-tooltip}}" button, that text will be used in creating the link. For a link that involves just one word, you can either select that word or just put the cursor within that word.

| When you use either the button or the shortcut, a dialog will open in which you may type the link. VisualEditor will try to help with '''[[Internal link|internal]]''' links by looking for likely matches.

| Once you have entered or selected the link, you complete the linking process by pressing {{key press|Enter}} or by pressing the "{{int:visualeditor-dialog-action-done}}" button. Your link will immediately appear on the VisualEditor page but, as with other changes to the page, it will not be saved until you 'Publish' the entire page.

| To change or remove an existing link, click within the text for that link, then press the "{{int:visualeditor-annotationbutton-link-tooltip}}" icon that appears near it. The dialog will appear, for editing. (You can also get to the dialog with the {{key press|Ctrl|K}} keyboard shortcut.) In the link editing dialog, you can then change where the link goes. You can also remove the link altogether by pressing the "{{int:visualeditor-inspector-remove-tooltip}}" button in the lower left corner of the dialog. You can also open the link's target in another window by clicking on the "{{int:visualeditor-linkinspector-open}}" button. (You might want do this to check if an external link is valid.)
