# up.link.makeFollowable(link)

**This feature is experimental**. Please [share](https://github.com/unpoly/unpoly/discussions) your experiences so we know what to keep or change.

Makes sure that the given link will be [followed](https://unpoly.com/api/up.follow.md) by Unpoly instead of making a full page load.

If the link is not already [followable](https://unpoly.com/api/up.link.isFollowable.md), the link will receive an [`[up-follow]`](https://unpoly.com/api/up-follow.md) attribute.
