What is the first action taken to remove a hyperlink from a cell?

The first action taken to remove a hyperlink from a cell is to right-click on the cell. When you right-click, a context menu appears that provides various options related to that cell, including the ability to remove hyperlinks. This action is crucial as it opens up the necessary choices to manage the cell's content directly.

Once you right-click, you can see the option to remove the hyperlink listed in the menu. Accessing the Data tab or using the Remove Hyperlinks command may involve additional steps or options that are not necessary to initiate the removal process. Highlighting the cell text might help in some contexts, but it does not directly lead to the removal of the hyperlink without additional steps. Therefore, starting with a right-click allows for the quickest and most straightforward approach to remove a hyperlink.
