Link cards contain three sections

You can edit and show/hide the content of these three sections

When you paste a link, Milanote displays a preview image and description that are retrieved from the URL you added to your card. The image and the description can be toggled on or off by selecting your link card and clicking on the Image or Description button in the left-side toolbar.

Replace the preview image

1. Drag an image over the link preview image

2. Hold it for 1 second until you see a black border appear
