Link previews

A link preview shows a page over the one you're reading, so you can look at a link without opening a new tab. Keep it if it's useful, or close it and carry on where you were.

Open a preview

• Shift-click a link. The page opens in a preview over the one you're on.
• Or right-click a link and choose Open Link in Preview.

The preview is a real page in the same Space, so you're signed in to the site just as you are in that Space's tabs. Along the top it shows the site's name, with a spinner while the page loads.

Opening another preview replaces the one that's showing. Shift-click a link inside the preview and it opens in the same preview.

Keep it or let it go

The bar at the top of the preview has three buttons:

• Open as Tab keeps the page as a tab in the Space, just below the one you were reading, and takes you to it.
• Open Beside keeps the page and puts it beside the one you were reading, in split view.
• The close button lets the preview go. Pressing Esc or clicking outside the preview does the same.

Closing a preview leaves no tab behind. The page you were reading is just as you left it.

Other things to do with a link

Right-click a link on any page for the rest:

• Open Link in Space opens it in another of your Spaces, signed in as you are there.
• Pin Link to Space pins it to any Space without opening it. See Pinned tabs and folders.
• Copy Link as Markdown copies the link with its words, ready to paste into a document.
• Ask the Agent About This Link asks the Space's agent whether the page is worth opening for what you're doing.

History

Pages you look at in a preview go into your History like any other page, so you can find one again later with ⌘Y. In a private window, nothing is kept. See Reopen closed tabs.
