Additional Link Settings

Open in New Tab

Enable Open in new tab to ensure the link opens in a separate browser tab.

Note: If you're using list properties or CMS properties, the Open in new tab setting applies to all items in the list.

Selecting a Private Page

Pages set as private will appear grayed out with a private page icon, as shown in the image.

While you can set these private pages as link destinations, please note that they won't function correctly as links in the live preview or on the published site if left in this state.

Additionally, if you change a page that was already set as a link destination to private settings afterward, the link configuration will remain, but it won't function properly as a link in the live preview or on the published site.
