The latest product updates are here: Link Preview and Show Edit History! đź“„
These features are a series of interaction boosts designed to help you more easily create content and collaborate with others.
Choose how your link appears with Link Preview
Say goodbye to clunky copy-paste formatting—HackMD’s new Link Preview feature makes managing links smoother than ever.
When you paste a URL into your note, a smart selection menu pops up, letting you instantly choose how the link should appear.
Whether you want to keep it as a raw URL, format it as a clickable reference, generate a sleek preview card, or cite a HackMD paragraph directly, the choice is yours. It’s a small change with big impact—it saves time, reduces friction, and keeps your notes clean and readable.
Show Edit History: See specific change history
Keep track of every change with precision thanks to HackMD’s new Show Edit History feature. Instead of digging through full document versions, you can now view the edit timeline of a specific line—complete with timestamps, editor info, and exact modifications.
It’s a game-changer for collaborative writing, giving teams the transparency they need and the control they want.
Whether you’re reviewing updates or rolling back changes, this targeted history view makes it easy to stay aligned and efficient.
