Smart Link Embeds

A quick guide to turning shared links into clean previews and attachments inside Outlign.

Outlign now supports embeds for Figma, Dropbox, Google Drive, Calendly and more. Instead of pasting long messy URLs, Smart Link Embeds let you preview designs, files, documents, boards and booking widgets without leaving Outlign, keeping everything tidy and easy for clients to follow.
