Question

Q: How do I link directly to an article in a database?

Answer

Linking back to an article in a database most often requires obtaining the article's permalink, not just copying the URL from your browser.

In general, look for "Persistent Links," "Permalinks," "Stable URL," or "Persistent URLs" buttons on an article's record in the database.

Getting a permalink in SuperSearch

  • Click on the title of an article.

  • Click the "Share" icon in the upper right hand corner.
