5. In Appearance, use the Display drop-down menu to choose how you want the URL to be handled. New window is the default, which will cause the link to open in a new tab in most web browsers. If you are linking to a page within the Moodle course site it should be set to Open, which will open the link in the current tab. If you are linking to a page that is external to the Moodle course site then it should be set to New window.
