    Hi andrewtsymbal, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Do the images not preview in all docs or just a specific one? 


    Do you remember how these images added to the Paper doc (I.e. dragging and dropping, pasting, clicking the Dropbox icon)?

     

    If you add a new image to the doc, does it successfully preview?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

      Hi, only about half of the document images have a preview, and the latest images (about 30%- 40% of them) do not appear. However, when I click on the links in the warning message, images get downloaded so they are not deleted or moved.

      I dragged and dropped them into the browser to add them.

      And yes, if I add a new image, it works fine.

        Hey andrewtsymbal, let me also jump in here! 

         

        You mentioned that when you click on the links in the warning message, the images get downloaded. 

         

        Would you be able to send me a couple of screenshots from the process of you trying to preview the images within a Paper document, in order for me to have a visual?
