Making links in Socialtext is very simple.

To add a link to a page in the workspace, first double-click to enter editing mode. Alternatively, click the Edit button.

Type the name of the page you want to link to, and turn it into a link simply by selecting it and clicking on in the toolbar.

If you make a link to a page that doesn't exist yet, your link will appear with a dotted underline. When you click on the link, the page will be created.

Changing pages is easy. Just double click. Alternatively, click the Edit button and write some words at the bottom of the page. Go ahead, try it here! You won't hurt anything.

You can do this on every page in the Workspace.

Hi! This quick tour will help you get acquainted with your Socialtext Workspace. It's easy to do. After you've read each page, just click on the blue underlined link at the bottom to go to the next page -- sort of like turning the page in a book.

A Socialtext Workspace is a way to work together on the web that's fast and fun.

It's a flexible way for you and your team to organize information.

Right now, the information you're looking at is a few paragraphs of text, like you could read in a newspaper or a book.
