This how-to applies not just to Google Docs but also to adding links in other Google services
Now, before we dive in proper, it’s worth pointing out how widespread this particular method is. In fact, adding a link to just about any Google document, whether a Sheet, Slide, or Docs document works in effectively the same way. With one caveat, which we’ll discuss momentarily. You can also add links to your documents in Docs or otherwise from your phone. Albeit by a slightly different method, as is often the case with our how-to guides. But we’ll cover that below. For now, let’s take a look at how, exactly, you can add links to your Google Docs and Google Workspace documents.

And, like on the web, learning how to add links in Docs or those other apps is fairly straightforward. It also just happens to be very different from the web variant.
