How to hyperlink in Google Docs using a computer
1. Open a document in Google Docs using a web browser.
2. Select the text that you want to turn into a hyperlink.
3. Click the Insert Link button in the toolbar (which looks like a link in a chain) or right-click the selected text and click "Link" from the drop-down menu.
4. In the pop-up Link dialog box, type or paste the URL you want to link to. The URL should be a valid web address, but you don't need to include the "http://" portion — for example, you can enter "businessinsider.com." As a general rule though, it's a good idea to copy and paste the URL from the address bar of a web browser, so you know the link is error-free.
5. Click "Apply" to finish.
You can also bring up the text-to-link box pictured above by highlighting text and pressing command + K on a Mac computer or ctrl + K on a PC, and then inserting your link in the same way.
If you later need to change the URL, you can click the link and choose an option from the pop-up menu. You can copy the URL, edit it, or remove it entirely.
How to hyperlink in Google Docs using the mobile app

4. On the Insert Link page, type or paste the URL you want to link to.
5. When you're done, tap the checkmark at the top right of the screen.
