An instructional video titled "Link Rubrics or Documents in Panel Instructions." The video demonstrates how grant administrators can insert hyperlinks into the instructions field of the Panel Editor. It shows a user highlighting specific text, such as "Essential Grant Guidelines," and using the "Insert/edit link" tool to connect that text to an external URL or hosted document, ensuring panelists have immediate access to necessary evaluation materials.
