Sign Customiser now lets you add clickable links inside the descriptions and help text that customers read while they’re designing their sign. Point customers at a mounting guide, installation video, size chart, or a “contact us” link without ever taking them out of the flow, all using a simple Markdown link format your merchants will already recognise.

This is a small quality-of-life upgrade that unlocks a lot: fewer support questions, better-informed buyers, and a cleaner way to surface the helpful content you already have on your store.

## What’s Changed

- **Markdown links in option descriptions** - Use `[label](url)` inside descriptions for colours, sizes, materials, mounting, supports, jackets, product types, and custom form fields to turn any word or phrase into a link
- **Links render safely for customers** - Customer-facing descriptions automatically become clickable, opening external links in a new tab and keeping internal or anchor links in the same tab
- **Supports the link types you actually use** - Works with full URLs, your own store paths like `/pages/mounting-guide`, in-page anchors, `mailto:` email links, and `tel:` phone links
- **Inline admin hint** - Every supported field now shows a short help note with example syntax, so merchants can see at a glance how to add a link without leaving the form
- **Plain text still works as before** - Existing descriptions keep rendering exactly as they do today, so there’s nothing to migrate
