3. In the component configuration panel on the left, click on the "Links" section.
4. Click on "Action Link" to create a new action link.
5. Click on the new action link column to begin editing the action link.
6. Configure the action link by specifying the action link title, icon, display format, action rule, and more.
7. Save your changes and preview the page to see the action link in action.
Remember, you can customize the appearance of the action link by applying different CSS styles or using the built-in button and link styles provided by Tadabase.
