# Create links from one diagram element to another

When you have a large network, linking allows you to use just a network icon to represent individual network segments in a top-level diagram. You can create links from them to more detailed diagrams.

## Before you begin

Before you can add a link, you must have at least two diagrams under the same parent diagram.

##

You can attach links to any of the elements in the diagram. When you double-click a link, another diagram opens.

Note: You cannot create links between two diagrams that have different parent diagrams.
