To create a link:
Select the link from the original document by finding its title in the menu
click on the ' 'symbol
select the 'copy link' option
highlight the words that are to be linked, click on the link icon, and paste the link
hit 'Enter' (this step is critical; the link is not active without it)
hover the mouse over the link, and make sure that it does not start with "https://app.gitbook", nor does it say "Internal" (which means an error)
To convert an unacceptable link - ie one that starts with "https://apps.gitbook.com/etc.etc." - to an acceptable one - ie that starts with "https://wiki.greatcollaboration.uk/" is a matter of changing the early part of the link. In the examples used above, there is a common part to both links: ie from "/events/banter-sessions-inc-table-of-all-sessions/" onwards. It is necessary to replace the preceding part of the link in the "app.gitbook.com" bit with this wording: "https://wiki.greatcollaboration.uk/knowledgebase/"
A simple way to do this is provided in this spreadsheet:
It is easy to bring any sort of document into the Knowledgebase (KB), but it is worth remembering that for the text of the document to be available to the AI search engine within the KB, the text has to be listed on a wiki page - ie a link to a document out on the web will not be searched. So, consider either inviting something like ChatGPT to markdown the document for you ("Please convert this document to markdown for me"), and then putting the resulting text on the wiki page (you still need the link in place for people to see graphical content, and beautiful formatting), or at the least, entering in a bunch of keywords that describe the contents of the document so that the wiki search engine will find it when a user types one of those keywords into the search bar.
Go to, or create, the appropriate page in the KB where the document link should live
Click on the '+' sign to the left (usually to the left of the line above - ie your entry will be the next one - or in a blank space where your entry is to go), and either type "Embed a URL" in the mini-menu, or simply scroll down the menu until you find it
Enter your URL accordingly
A box will be created on the page, with the heading of your document within, and the link to click on to bring the document up for the user
