This documentation topic is designed for Grafana workspaces that support **Grafana version 8.x**.  
For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 12.x, see [Working in Grafana version 12](using-grafana-v12.md).  
For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 10.x, see [Working in Grafana version 10](using-grafana-v10.md).  
For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 9.x, see [Working in Grafana version 9](using-grafana-v9.md).

 Each panel can have its own set of links that are shown in the upper-left corner of the panel. You can link to any available URLs, including dashboards, panels, or external sites. You can even control the time range to ensure the user sees the specific data in the Grafana workspace. 

Choose the icon in the top-left corner of a panel to see available panel links. 

## Adding a panel link
<a name="add-a-panel-link"></a>

1.  Pause on the panel that you want to add a link to, and then press **e**. Or choose the dropdown arrow next to the panel title, and then choose **Edit**. 

1.  On the **Panel** tab, scroll down to the **Links** section. 

1.  Expand **Links**, and then choose **Add link**. 

1.  Enter a **Title** for the link. The title will be displayed in the UI. 

1.  Enter the **URL** that you want to link to. You can include one of the template variables that are defined in the dashboard. Press **Ctrl\+Space** or **Cmd\+Space**, and then choose the **URL** field to see the available variables. When you add template variables to your panel link, the link sends the user to the right context, with the relevant variables already set. You can also use time variables 
   +  `from` defines the lower limit of the time range, specified in ms epoch. 
   +  `to` defines the upper limit of the time range, specified in ms epoch. 
   +  `time` and `time.window` define a time range from `time-time.window/2` to `time+time.window/2`. Both parameters should be specified in milliseconds. For example, `?time=1500000000000&time.window=10000` results in a 10-second time range from 1499999995000 to 1500000005000.
