Yes! Edit your links to open in a new tab or window in your visitors' web browsers. Learn to add your links to your Pages and Navigation Menus and encourage your visitors to explore different pages without exiting the initial page. 

Note:
This method does not apply to Checkout Pages.

In this article:

Configuring links to open in a separate tab is accomplished by adding text to the end of your page URL. This instructs the web browser to open the link in a new tab. Which means you can simply apply the methods below to Call to Action (CTA) buttons, Navigation Menu links, and Image Actions to go to a URL that will open the linked page in a separate tab on your visitors' web browsers. 

  • Open the Website tab from the Dashboard.
  • Select Navigation.
  • Click the Edit icon next to the link you wish to edit or create a new one. 
  • Copy /"target="_blank.
  • Place your cursor at the end of the URL and paste /"target="_blank to the end of the URL.
  • Click Save to keep your changes:
