To add a link to an external site to any QuickLinks component, you must first create a LinkItem.

1. Go to your site's Extras folder. Right click the LinkItems folder and select Insert > Link Item.
2. Give the link item a name; no one will see this name - it's for organizing links within the Extras folder. Click OK.
3. Enter the Title of the item. This will display as the clickable link in Quicklinks
4. Enter the Description of the item. This will display as the description below the link in bullet list QuickLinks with descriptions.
5. Optional: Browse for an image in the Media Library. This will display as the image in a button list.
6. Past the external URL in the Link field.
7. Save and approve the LinkItem for publication.
8. Add the LinkItem to a QuickLinks component.
