I. Intro

Link Preview is an extension that allows you to directly preview documents, tables, and most webpage links in your base.

Common use cases:

Resource management: When managing personal or team resources, you can review and check all related documents and webpages without ever leaving the document.

Customer relationship management: You can preview customer documents or websites directly in the document.

II. Steps

Add extension

Open the base and click a record's Expand icon.

In the upper-right corner of the expanded record, click the + Add extensions icon and add the Link Preview extension.

If there are multiple fields with links in the base, select the field that you want to preview, and click Confirm.

Note: When there is only one field with links, its contents will be used for preview by default.

Manage extension

Open the base and click a record's Expand icon.

Click the Link Preview tab.

On the right side of the pane, you'll find a menu with buttons for opening the link, copying the link, and setting the field for preview.

Configure extension settings

Open the base and click a record's Expand icon.

Hover over the Link Preview tab.

Click the ⋮ icon to the right to set the tab as first, rename it, or delete it.
