While youโ€™re writing or reading content, there are times when you want to share a specific section of a note. Whether itโ€™s a section within an internal doc that youโ€™d like key stakeholders to edit or a public-facing research report with an insight youโ€™d like to share, the new Copy Link feature makes referencing detailed points simple and efficient.

You can highlight and share content in both View and Edit modes. Anyone who clicks on the link will be directed to the relevant section - no more sifting through entire documents to find what you need.

Those links follow the overall note permissions. Links from published notes are viewable to everyone and, when shared on social media, even show the highlighted text within the social card (like the image below).
