To rename a link in Google Docs, simply open the document > tap the link > click the “pen icon” > delete the name > input new name > “apply.” Links are widely used in documents as a way to connect to related information or resources, making your content clearer.
Pasted hyperlinks often look long and messy on their own, and giving them a clean name is the simplest way to tidy them up. A renamed link also tells your reader exactly where the click is going, so it doubles as a small accessibility win. In this blog post, we’re going to show you how to do it in Google Docs!
Here’s the steps on how to rename a link in Google Docs:
Contents
Step 1
First, open the Google Docs document that contains the link you wish to rename.
Step 2
Next is Tap the link and a small pop-up box will appear. Click the pen icon (labeled “Edit link“) to edit the link name.
Step 3
Now you will see a new popup. Delete the name in the “Text” box, input the new name, and then click “Apply.”
And that’s it! Your document will now display the new name for the link.
Conclusion
As you can see, swapping a raw URL for a clean label only takes a few clicks and goes a long way toward keeping your document tidy. We hope you found this blog post helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us in the comments section below!
