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!

7 years agoThanks for your input on this fffoooxxx - I'm logging this is a feature request for an option to be able to disable/enable link previews on Paper docs.
I'll also let the team know about your usecase as this will help better understand our users' needs and pain points - thanks for your constructive feedback.
If there's anything else you'd like to add, or ask, in the meantime; please let me know.

You can also use the 'Undo' command (ctrl+Z for Windows and Command+Z for Macs) when you paste the link(s) on a Paper doc to prevent them from previewing.
I was just able to do it even when pasting multiple links - only I had to press the command as many times as the listed links.
Hope this helps!
