-## Palette/VerteX URLs
+### Internal Links
 
-A special component has been created to handle the generation of URLs for Palette and VerteX. The component is called
-[PaletteVertexUrlMapper](./src/components/PaletteVertexUrlMapper/PaletteVertexUrlMapper.tsx). This component is intended
-for usage withing partials. You can use the component to change the base path of the URL to either Palette or VerteX.
-The component will automatically prefix the path to the URL. The component has the following props:
+Due to the complexities of Docusaurus plugin rendering, links do not support versioning in `*.mdx` files. If you want to
+add an internal link you will have to use the `VersionedLink` component inside the `*.mdx` file.
 
-- `edition` - The edition of the URL. This can be either `Palette` or `Vertex`. Internally, the component will use this
-  value to determine the base URL.
+```mdx
+---
+partial_category: public-cloud
+partial_name: palette-setup
+---
+
+This is how you set up Palette in {props.cloud}.
+
+This is an <VersionedLink text="Internal Link" url="/getting-started/additional-capabilities"/>.
+```
+
+The path of the link should be the path of the destination file from the root directory, without any back operators
+`..`. External links can be referenced as usual.
+
+### Palette/VerteX URLs
+
+The component [PaletteVertexUrlMapper](./src/components/PaletteVertexUrlMapper/PaletteVertexUrlMapper.tsx) handles the
+generation of URLs for Palette and VerteX documents within the `/self-hosted-setup` section. This component is used
+within partials to change the base path of the URL to either `/self-hosted-setup/palette` or `/self-hosted-setup/vertex`
+and, if applicable, point to a particular installation method. The component has the following props:
+
+- `edition` - The edition of the URL. This can be either `palette` or `vertex`. The component uses this value to
+  determine the base URL. Values are _not_ case sensitive.
 - `text` - The text to display for the link.
 - `url` - The path to append to the base URL.
+  - To redirect to the base `/self-hosted-setup/palette` or `/self-hosted-setup/vertex` URL, use `url=""`.
+  - When referencing a heading or anchor within a file, append `/#anchor-here` to the end of the file path. For example,
+    use `url="/system-management/account-management/#system-administrators`. Note that adding `/` after the anchor
+    allows the link to work but does not route to the correct header.
 
-Below is an example of how to use the component:
+Below is an example of how to use the component within a partial:
 
 ```mdx
 - System administrator permissions, either a Root Administrator or Operations Administrator. Refer to the
   <PaletteVertexUrlMapper
     edition={props.edition}
-    text="System Administrators"
+    text="Account Management"
     url="/system-management/account-management"
   />
   page to learn more about system administrator roles.
 ```
 
+When referencing the `PartialsComponent` in the `.md` file, the `edition` determines if the link maps to a Palette or
+VerteX page. In the below example, because the `edition` is defined as `palette`, the resulting link is
+`/self-hosted-setup/palette/system-management/account-management`. If the `edition` used was `vertex`, the resulting
+link would be `/self-hosted-setup/vertex/system-management/account-management`.
+
+```md
+<PartialsComponent>
+  category="self-hosted"
+  name="customize-interface"
+  edition="palette"
+/>
+```
+
+#### Different Palette/VerteX URLs
+
 In cases where Palette and Vertex pages have different URLs beyond the base path, the component will accept the
 following props:
 
-- `edition` - The edition of the URL. This can be either `Palette` or `Vertex`. Internally, the component will use this
-  value to determine the base URL.
+- `edition` - The edition of the URL. This can be either `palette` or `vertex`. The component uses this value to
+  determine whether to route the link to the defined `palettePath` or `vertexPath`.
 - `text` - The text to display for the link.
-- `palettePath` - The Palette path to append to the base URL.
-- `vertexPath` - The VerteX path to append to the base URL.
+- `palettePath` - The full self-hosted Palette path. Using `palettePath` prevents the base URL `/self-hosted-setup/`
+  from being appended; therefore, you must use the full path.
+  - When referencing a heading or anchor within a file, append `/#anchor-here` to the end of the file path.
+- `vertexPath` - The full self-hosted Palette VerteX path. Using `vertexPath` prevents the base URL
+  `/self-hosted-setup/` from being appended; therefore, you must use the full path.
+  - When referencing a heading or anchor within a file, append `/#anchor-here` to the end of the file path.
 
 Below is an example of how to use the component when the URLs are different:
 
 ```mdx
 - System administrator permissions, either a Root Administrator or Operations Administrator. Refer to the
   <PaletteVertexUrlMapper
     edition={props.edition}
-    text="System Administrators"
+    text="Account Management"
     palettePath="/system-management/account-management"
     vertexPath="/system-management-vertex/account-management"
   />
   page to learn more about system administrator roles.
 ```
 
+When referencing the `PartialsComponent` in the `.md` file, the resulting links would be
+`/self-hosted-setup/palette/system-management/account-management` and
+`/self-hosted-setup/vertex/system-management-vertex/account-management` (based on the `edition` used).
+
+#### Installation-Specific URLs
+
+The `PaletteVertexUrlMapper` component also supports the optional `install` prop for handling installation-specific URLs
+for self-hosted Palette and Palette VerteX.
+
+- `install` - The installation method. Can be `kubernetes`, `vmware`, or `management-appliance`. When provided, the
+  component appends `/supported-environments/{install-method}` to the base URL path. Values are _not_ case sensitive.
+
+When the `install` prop is provided, the URL is constructed as follows:
+
+```
+/self-hosted-setup/{edition}/supported-environments/{install-method}/{url}
+```
+
+Below is an example of how to use the component with the `install` prop within the partial `.mdx` file:
+
+```md
+- To activate your installation, refer to the <PaletteVertexUrlMapper
+    edition={props.edition}
+    install={props.install}
+    text="activation guide" 
+    url="/activate" 
+  />.
+```
+
+When referencing the `PartialsComponent` in the `.md` file in the below example, the resulting link would be
+`/self-hosted-setup/palette/supported-environments/vmware/activate`.
+
+```md
+<PartialsComponent
+  category="self-hosted"
+  name="install-next-steps"
+  install="vmware"
+  edition="Palette"
