Only a few items in Sakai have URLs with which you can create persistently reliable hyperlinks using the rich-text editor. Only the following items in Sakai are URL addressable:

• Sakai course and project sites
• Tool menu items in each project and course site
• Files in Resources

Of course, using the rich-text editor you can link to any other website outside of Sakai.

All other items for which you see links in Sakai do not have stable URLs. A few examples of items that not URL addressable include:

• Assignments in the Assignments tool
• Assessments in the Tests & Quizzes tool
• Discussion board topics in the Discussions tool
• Lessons pages that are not top-level pages on the tool menu of a site

Note that through the magic of the Lessons tool, stable links to the list of items above can be added to a Lessons page. However, such links within a Lessons page are still not URL addressable outside the context of the Sakai Lessons tool.
