posting url in bibliography in overleaf as reference

Question

I have to post a link to this website https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-app-security/tutorial-shadow-it as a reference, I am using in my documentation. I see in my template in overleaf I wrote in the file BIBeusflat2019.bib

@misc{microsoft,
 author =
 title =Discover and manage shadow IT in your network
 url ="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-app-security/tutorial-shadow-it"
}

but then when I compile the pdf I do not get the url as reference link in pdf . I am using a template here https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/eusflat-2019-template/jmqvcrhkqhgx

So how do I post a link to URL in this case?

Answer 1

Go the .cls file of the template

and change

\RequirePackage{graphicx}

to

\RequirePackage{graphicx, hyperref, url}

this adds the required packages. Now go to the .bib file an add your entry as

@misc{microsoft,
author = {Microsoft},
title = {Discover and manage shadow IT in your network},
howpublished = "\url{https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-app-security/tutorial-shadow-it}"
}

now you can cite this ref in your .tex using

\cite{microsoft}
