Delete an automatic hyperlink

Important 

In Collibra 2024.05, we launched a new user interface (UI) for Collibra Platform! You can learn more about this latest UI in the UI overview.

Use the following options to see the documentation in the latest UI or in the previous, classic UI:

Collibra Platform can automatically create hyperlinks to assets. However, you can delete some or all of the hyperlinks without touching other potential automatic hyperlinks to the destination asset.

Steps

  1. Open an asset page.
  2. Click in the text field with an automatic hyperlink. Click a text attribute, for example the definition, to edit the text.
  3. Select the hyperlinked text.
    An action list appears.
  4. In the Edit toolbar, click (Remove autohyperlink) (Prevent auto hyperlinking).
    The hyperlink is removed.
  5. Click Save, to save the content of the text field. Click out of the text field to save the content of the text field.

What's next?

The automatic hyperlink is removed, but if you edit the text field again and you add the same text, the automatic hyperlink will again be created. If the hyperlinks are rebuilt, for example after restoring a backup, the hyperlinks may reappear.

Tip To prevent an automatic hyperlink to a specific asset, you have to disable automatic hyperlinking for the target asset or the domain of the target asset.
