      Create a URL Preview Post

      When you paste an article's URL into the content editor, that URL will automatically render as an image, displaying the title, summary, source, as well as the link. This makes for a much more engaging experience and allows users to get information about the linked content before deciding to navigate away from the stream.

      Note: Preview URL relies on the corresponding website having OG (open graph) tags. Without these, we can not generate a preview.
