TOPIC: Editing Hyperlink Text in the Recur Text Editor

THE PROBLEM: When managing text content, clicking directly onto an active hyperlink often triggers the link destination or highlights the entire block component rather than placing a text cursor. This can make editing the visible text title of a link feel awkward or difficult to execute directly on the canvas page preview.

THE SYSTEM LOGIC: The inline text editor processes hyperlinks as bound rich-text elements. To modify the visible text without breaking the underlying URL path, the editor requires specific cursor placement or utilizing the built-in link action menu to break or reset the element container.

THE RESOLUTION:

If you need to change or fix the text title of an active hyperlink, you can use the following editing techniques:

Method 1: Precise Cursor Placement

  • Do not single-click directly on top of the link first, as this can trigger the URL route.

  • Double-click near the link text element to activate the cursor mode within that specific text boundary.

  • Carefully mouse your cursor into the link text, allowing you to type, delete, or rename the link title directly.

Method 2: Remove and Replace (Recommended for Efficiency)

Because direct cursor placement inside bound text elements can occasionally feel awkward, clearing the link is often the fastest approach:

  • Highlight or click into the problematic link element.

  • Select the Remove Link / Clear Link option from the text configuration utilities to strip away the hyperlink routing.

  • Edit your raw text cleanly, then re-apply the URL to the new text string from scratch.
