Web bookmarks

Web bookmarks are useful for displaying and previewing external links. For any URL you want to share, you can generate a card with an image and short description of the content on the site — much like what appears when you share links on Facebook or Twitter. Examples:

Add a web bookmark

There are a few ways to add a web bookmark to a page:

  • Click the + displayed to the left when you hover over a new line. Choose Web Bookmark and press enter.
  • Type /web bookmark or just /bookmark and press enter.
  • In the mobile app, paste a URL and select Create Bookmark.

Each method asks you to enter the URL. Press enter and your bookmark will pop up.

Open a web bookmark

  • To visit the linked page in a web bookmark, simply click the text area of the preview card. The page will open in a new tab or window, depending on your browser settings.

Comment on a web bookmark

You can leave a comment on a bookmark, just like any other type of content block:

  • Hover over the bookmark and click either ⋮⋮ to the left or the ••• icon at the top right. You can also right click to bring up the same menu.
  • Select Comment, and enter your inspiring insights.

Tip: Tag your workspace collaborators with @ to notify them of comments intended for them specifically.
