Quicklinks in Brightspace
A Quicklink simply points to some other area within D2L or to another file or web page. For example, Quicklinks can be used by students to insert links to external pages inside a discussion post or assignment submission.
Additionally, Quicklinks are a way for instructors to insert a direct link to content that is inside or outside of their course. Quicklinks are useful because they allow instructors to provide students with a direct link to the content in the course. For example, instructors can create an announcement or email for students with links that take students directly to a quick inside of the course. Quicklinks are useful for pointing students to specific content in the course!

- Click Insert Quicklink in the Brightspace Editor
- Select the type of item you want to link to from the list in the Insert Quicklink window (for example, a quiz, a course file, an external URL).
