1. Navigate to Updates.
2. Click on +Update or of the update you want to edit to up the Updates Editor.

Note: If you're using a List View, only the Link Title (see step 6) and Scheduled Date will display.
4. Select External Link from the Type drop-down.
5. Copy and paste your link into the Link field. Make sure you remove the "http://" from your link URL and select "https://" in the drop-down menu.

Note: If you're using a List View, your Link Title should be the same as your Title.
