Universal chapter access

I'd like to have a link to the "tenant list" chapter of my story (Servicing the Tenants) on every page of the story. Is that possible? I had to go to using conditions because of branching, but that seems to mean that once you hit "Start Game," you can't go back and look at the tenant list; you would need a link from whatever chapter you're on. I tried putting the link in the "About" section, but it didn't hyperlink it. I suppose I could post a bunch of linked chapters (at least from all the chapters where new tenant photos are provided), but that would clutter things up.

Any ideas?
 
As soon as the game is started, the reader can't access any chapter of your story which isn't a child chapter of the current chapter. (Except by following the "previous chapter" link.)

So the only way would be to use an external source. (You can use Markdown syntax to create a link.)

I'm unfamiliar with that. Is there an explanation to which you could direct me?

Markdown is a widely spread syntax for text formatting.

Most things that you can do are described in the CHYOA Guide: Chapter Formatting. (Please note that you can't use all Markdown features if RTE is activated in your account settings.)

Creating links with the syntax
[Link Title](link destination)
also works with RTE activated.
But as said, if game mode is activated, the access of other chapters within the story is restricted.

OK, thank you.
 
honsestly, I'd suggest putting a chapter with a copy of the tenant information at key points throughout the story instead. Like at "checkpoints" or something, instead of creating a link back to the chapter each time.
 
Whenever I'm reading something like this where I wanted to go look at a like a character sheet at the beginning I just end game go look at the chapter and then start the game again and it takes me back to the chapter I was on.
