Why is the link option greyed out in my notes?

David Fish

I would like to link to an Excel file I made to compare usages of οἶδα and γινώσκω in the Gospel of John. I started by making a note on the form ἔγνωσαν in John 16:3, but would like to link to my Excel file where I have the comparison data.

The link icon in my notes editor, however, is greyed out.

I can't seem to find the option to enable it, so I could link to an external file. Can it be done?
