Whenever you want to edit text in documents, the menu bar as shown below appears on the screen.
H1 & H2
These are options to change the text to headers. Whereas 'H1' is used for main headers, 'H2' is used for sub headers. An advantage of using these features is that you can edit the text style of the headers via the 'styling' button shown at the top right of the document while editting (see image below).
B, I, U, S
Every letter has its own functionalities and applied characteristics to the selected text.
Align
With this option you decide how the text is aligned according to the width of the document paper.

The chain icon represents adding a (URL) link to the text to make it a hyperlink. After selecting this option, you will see the menu as shown below. Enter the 'URL' link and at 'text' you decide which text is shown. Select 'open in new tab' if you want the link to be opened in a new tab (screen) after the reader clicks on it.

Hold 'Shift', 'Ctrl' or 'AltGr' on your keyboard and then select a field
