Quick Anchor Question

[ceyerkes]

Can we add anchors in help text? We have a use case where we need an "enabled on" date as hep text in a Switch, but we'd also like to link out to the Audit Trail:

Is this ok, or should we put this on another line/area?

Thanks!

Hi! Based on the Paste documentation, you can indeed include anchors within Help Text to provide additional information or link out to relevant resources. This is supported as part of making Help Text informative and helpful for users. Here's how you might structure it using Paste components:

<HelpText>
  Enabled on 2025-06-17. See <Anchor href="https://www.twilio.com/docs/audit-trail">Audit Trail</Anchor> for more details.
</HelpText>

This approach keeps the information concise and scoped, as recommended in the Default Help Text section of the Paste documentation. It also aligns with the guidance on using anchors to link out to additional information as seen in the Design section under Accessibility.

Remember to ensure that the anchor text is written succinctly and makes sense on its own, following the best practices outlined in the Accessibility section for anchors. This is crucial for users of assistive technology.
