See live, synced link previews when you paste ClickUp links in your Workspace.

Link previews are available on every ClickUp Plan to all user roles. 

Pasting links in ClickUp

If text precedes the link you're pasting, the link will display as inline by default unless it is a Whiteboard. Otherwise, the link will display as a preview. 

Location and view links always display as inline.

To change the type of link preview displayed, hover over it and click the ellipsis ... icon.

• Inline links: See the item or location's name presented neatly alongside your text. You can hover over the inline link for a larger preview.
