How to turn off link previews on Paper?
Hello everyone,
I created a doc called "links". When I copy my links to doc, I want to see only URLs, not thumbnails. Is this possible?

Not at the moment Bradloff - I'll be passing this on to our team though for their consideration. Thanks so much for your valuable feedback and helping us improve Paper!
In the meantime, you can use a code block [by entering three backticks (```) to start, and then paste your URL into the block] to paste your links into a Paper doc as text only.
I know it's not optimal yet I sure hope it helps to some extent.
Let me know if you have any more questions or feedback and happy new Year too!

Is there a way to disable this feature permanently, or to click a link/preview and turn it into the other? These thumbnails appear randomly and it's a tad frustrating.

- Ben O.6 years agoHelpful | Level 6Please ask the team to make this optional. Being forced to see the previews without using the hack is enough to make me use something else.

Hi Walter.
In addition to the code block ``` you can also add the links inside a table. You can delete all the rows and columns and just leave one cell.I hope this extra option is of value to Paper users.

Want a solution that doesn't force you to have to use code block when not doing code. Please just turn link preview off by default. We don't want distracting graphics and text when we just want a link. Terrible feature.
