# Add a link

Keep a web address in a folder beside the files it relates to. Selecting the link opens the page in a new tab.

Not everything worth keeping is a file. A link stores a web address in a folder, next to the documents it belongs with, so the government guidance or the supplier's portal is one select away from the paperwork that needs it.

- Open the folder the link belongs in, select **New**, then **Link**.
- Enter a name you'll recognise, then the full web address, starting with `https://`.

  ![A small panel headed Add Link, with two empty boxes, Link name and https://..., and beneath them Cancel and a greyed-out Add button.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/nest/my-folders/add-link-dialog.png)
- Select **Add**.

The link joins the folder's list with a chain icon, and the word **Link** where a file would show its size.

*One file and two links, side by side. The chain icon marks a link.*

> **Note:**
>
> A link can be starred, renamed, moved and deleted like a file. It has no **Download** on its menu, because there's nothing stored to download.
