# External Links

If there are any online resources you want to share as part of your Research Node that we currently do not explicitly support, you can always provide the link to that resource as an external link, alongside metadata describing its content, to make it FAIR.

You can add links to external resources simply by providing the link of the URL in the URL bar of the [node-drive-panel](https://docs.desci.com/general-user-overview/node-workspace/node-drive-panel "mention") in the [node-workspace](https://docs.desci.com/general-user-overview/node-workspace "mention") of the Node you want to add the resource to. 

* Open the [node-drive-panel](https://docs.desci.com/general-user-overview/node-workspace/node-drive-panel "mention"), and hit the '+' button. 
* Select 'Upload' from the dropdown menu.
* In the Upload section that opens, paste the URL you want to add in the 'Paste Link' bar near the bottom.

* Your URL will be added instantly to a folder named 'External Links'. If this folder doesn't exist yet, it will be automatically created.&#x20;
