Overview
In the App Designer editor, the Link button control allows the end user to navigate your app within different options by pressing a text with a link.
Add a Link button control
To add a Link button control, select the Controls option. This option displays a list of different types of controls and you must open the Buttons section. Inside this section, select and drag the Link button.
Manage
The link button has a Manage tab where you customize the text shown.
Design
These properties in the Design tab let you customize the button control:
Style
•Align: Sets the text alignment to Left, Right, or Center.
Fonts
•Font family: Sets the font family for a text element. The font by default is Poppins Regular.
•Font size (px): Sets the size of the text in the navigation panel.
•Font style: Apply Bold, Italic, and/or Underline formatting by selecting any combination of these options—or leave them unselected for no styling.
Colors
•Font color: Sets the color of the text displayed in the navigation pane. The default color depends on the selected theme.
•Background color: Sets the background color for the control. The default color depends on the selected theme.
You can return to the default values when you click the Reset button.
Link Button Control Reset Properties for Individual Configurations
In addition to the Reset button that restores all modified properties in the Design tab, each property also has its own reset option.
•Properties with inherited values display a blue dot next to their title. This indicator allows you to make targeted adjustments without affecting other settings. Hover over the blue dot to see the source of the inherited value, giving you greater control over your text control’s appearance.
•When you modify a property marked with a blue dot, its individual Reset button appears. Clicking this button restores the property to its default inherited configuration.

For details on customizing your app’s overall look, refer to the Typography, Themes and Controls style documentation in the App Designer editor. For example, you can set default typography or colors for all text controls by configuring them once. |
