Hi everyone,

I’d like to add a new tab in the Kanboard menu that links to an external page (a GDPR documentation).  
I tried to modify the code a bit, but I don’t have much technical knowledge and I’m not sure how to do it properly.

Could someone explain the simplest way to achieve this?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,

What do you mean by “THE Kanboard menu”? Screenshot with Arrow to the place where you want to have the link would help.

If you tell what modifications you tried, we can tell you what’s wrong.

There’s a plugin that allows you to embed an external link. Might be able to link out using that. I have to double check it’s been a minute.

[Glancer](https://github.com/aljawaid/Glancer) provide bar, which can have icon to open external link.

checkout [EmbedAnything](https://github.com/greyaz/EmbedAnything) , but it lacks clear instructions
