A few months ago we added the ability to insert links to your other pages when editing a worldbuilding page. You did this by clicking the type of page you wanted to link from a bar of tons of icons and then selecting your page from the dropdown. This worked, but was quite slow and not the most intuitive in all situations.

As of today that link bar has been replaced with @mentions on your pages. If you're editing a field and want to link to another page, just type @ to pull up a dropdown of all your pages and select the one you want. You can start typing to instantly narrow them down, and hit enter to autocomplete the selected one and keep typing – all without your hands ever leaving the keyboard.

It's spiffy, quick, and easy to use.

And it works in documents, too. :)

This update also tweaks the visual styling of page links to be closer to normal text (and just colored so you know it's a link) but also fit in with surrounding text a lot better than the older, large chip design.

Happy worldbuilding!
