When linking to websites outside of ClickUp, you can show a preview, inline link, or a plain text link. 

Preview types

When you paste a link mid-sentence or within existing text, it will default to Inline. 

When you paste a link on a new line, you can choose which type of preview to use. By default, the last preview type you chose for that type of link is selected.

There are three types of preview options:

• Preview: A live preview showing content from the link.
  

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

• URL: See a plain text link.

Integration link previews

Previews from many of our integrations, including GitHub and Salesforce, are displayed when a link is pasted into ClickUp.
