Discover the Versatility of ThingLink Tags: New Preview Tag Feature

Louise Jones

We’re excited to introduce a feature that helps reduce cognitive overload by offering a quick preview of what’s inside text and media tags. Now, when viewers hover over a tag icon, a small preview of the content will appear, giving them an instant understanding of what’s behind the icon at a glance.

After receiving numerous requests from users for an option to display a label when hovering over text and media tags, we’ve made it easier for viewers to access immediate information, encouraging further exploration. We believe this enhancement will improve the overall viewing experience for most projects.

Can I disable this preview?

This feature is enabled by default on all media projects. While we’re confident the preview will enhance the experience, we understand it may not be suitable for every project. You can disable the preview by going to the Settings tab inside the editor, opening the ‘Tag customization’ tab, and toggling off the ‘Hover preview’ setting.
