Difference between Page Attachment and Link

Hi @terrymiddleton,
Appreciate you posting these good questions.

Page attachments communicate to users there is more to read and gives your users the option to get more context about the page. It is best practice to avoid big, long texts on a page as this can discourage a user to engage in the story.

Links can be applied anywhere on the page to multiple elements. The tooltip that pops up for links tells users where the link goes and allows them to confirm the action before exiting the story.

You can learn more about links and page attachment best practices in this guide.

@luckynasan – thank you for this. Your guide is extremely helpful.

So, I’m sensing that the page attachment should not be used to send a user to another link outside the story? We should use the page attachment to send them to another story with more detailed information, yes?

The links should be used to send a user outside the story to an affiliate link for example.

Am I thinking correctly?

Terry

Yes. Links can be applied to send users to an affiliate link and page attachment links can be good for long-form content. The page attachment can link your story to an article about the same topic, but both convey the information from different angles. Here is a great example story in this Web Creators blog post.
