3. The field will be available in the list when creating a Section.

Usage

When adding this field to a section, the following options are available to you:

• Anchor URL is the URL of your entry view page on the frontend. An <entry id="123">...</entry> nodeset is provided from which you can grab field values, just as you would from a datasource. For example:

    /news/entry/{@id}/
  

• Open links in a new window enforces the hyperlink to spawn a new tab/window

• Hide this field on publish page hides the hyperlink in the entry edit form

To enable the Preview link you need to attach the field to the datasource which corresponds with the Anchor URL.
