I'm working on some fun things and thought to try a few options using hyperlinks in Pro.

In order to not waste my time I looked up the relevant help to find out what Pro can and cannot do with hyperlinks.
This is the full extent of help on the topic:

This is not the first topic with a severe lack of proper help, hence not being specific in the title.

Please improve all documentation.

When adopting this idea:
https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/change-pro-development-to-use-a-more-conservative/idi...
maybe Esri will then have the time to do proper housekeeping, rather than just pushing new bugs features all the time.

@KoryKramer I can. I mean - I should be able to. Unless it is unintuitive and the documentation doesn't explain how....
Also - miss the opportunity to engage in this social platform?  😉

Take this Idea, write it on a Post-It and give it to the lead tech writer to refer to whenever they edit any topic. If they do not have the time to write proper docs in a set period following a version release, hire more writers. If the developers do not have time to describe the features they code, have the writers co-habit the same workspace and make it a remuneration/performance metric.

As noted, the topic mentioned is not the only topic I have issue with.

As a paying customer, I consider Esri notified of an issue once it has been published in this medium; one they have specifically requested us many times to use.
