Summary: A well formatted Update is easier to read and gets your point across faster. This guide covers the formatting options in the Update composer: adding links, how link previews behave, and the text styles and lists in the toolbar.
Adding a link to an Update
You can embed a hyperlink directly into your text using the toolbar:
- Select the text you want to attach a link to.
- Click the link icon in the toolbar.
- Add the link in the dedicated text box.
- Click Save to embed the URL.
Adding multiple URLs to an Update
If you add multiple URLs to a single Update, only the first URL shows an embedded preview. Any additional URLs in the same post display as plain text links without a preview.
Text styles and lists
The toolbar directly above the Update text box also offers the standard formatting options:
- Text styles: bold, italics, underline, and strikethrough.
- Bullet point lists: ideal for grouping related points, with support for nested indentation.
- Numbered lists: ideal for sequential steps, with ordered sorting and nested alphabetical sub-points.
