The best way to link to a page on collaborate.green from an outside source, for example in an email message, is to use the tiny link which is a permanent URL. This ensures that the link to the page is not broken if the page name changes.

N.B. Keep in mind that the pages on collaborate.green are only accessible to logged-in users and that additional restrictions may apply.

To access the permanent URL for a page:

  1. View the page you wish to link to.
  2. Choose Tools > Link to this page.
  3. Copy the Tiny Link.
  4. Use the tiny link in your website or email message. 

You do not need to use the tiny link to link to pages within collaborate.green. Links are automatically updated when you rename or move a page to another space.
