What is the first step to add a mailto action to a markup?

• A. Right click on the markup, select Edit Action, and choose Hyperlink.
• B. Select the markup and type the email in a note.
• C. Use the Tools menu to insert a hyperlink directly.
• D. Drag a hyperlink onto the markup.

Answer: (A)

To add a mailto action, you start by configuring the markup’s action. Access the action editor by right-clicking the markup, choosing Edit Action, then selecting Hyperlink. This step opens the place where you define what happens when the markup is clicked, and you can enter a mailto: address (for example, mailto:recipient@example.com) in the hyperlink field, along with optional subject or body parameters. Other methods—typing a note on the markup, using the Tools menu to insert a hyperlink directly, or dragging a hyperlink onto the markup—do not properly assign a clickable mailto action to that specific mark, so they won’t create the intended email-opening behavior.
