Deeplinks create a URL that can directly link to a document, page, or even a specific block inside the Craft app itself – clicking on them from anywhere on your system should open the Craft app to that point. They have the form craftdocs://open... and will work on iOS/iPadOS/macOS. They can be shared between anyone who has access to edit that space. Deeplinks are typically used to connect other apps back into Craft – for example, a Things project can have a link in the notes section that opens the Craft document you’re keeping notes on that project in. They are not to be confused with Secret Links, which open a page on the web for your document for viewing/commenting, not in the Craft editor.
Deeplinks are only available for Craft on macOS, iOS, and iPad.
Deeplinks are available in the File menu on macOS.Deeplinks menu on macOSIf at the time you activate this you’ve got a particular block highlighted (or you’re editing that block), then the Deeplink will point to that. Otherwise, the link will point to the page/document you’re looking at.
Deeplinks can be used pretty much anywhere that highlights links. For example:
  • Copying and pasting the Deeplink URL into the URL bar of your browser will open Craft
  • Placing the link in a Stickies note will allow you to quickly access the document from there
  • You can Slack your co-workers or Message your contacts the Deeplink URL, and as long as they have access to that space, they’ll be able to click on it
Deeplinks only work for people who have access to edit the space. Make sure your collaborators are members of the space before sharing deeplinks with them.
