Web Bookmarks
A web bookmark changes a link into a rich visual card. The card shows the title, description, site icon, and a preview image of the page. A card is much easier to scan than a bare URL. Use bookmarks to collect research sources, make resource lists for your team, or refer to articles and tools. Your document stays free of raw links.
Insert a Web Bookmark
-
In the editor, type
/. From the slash command menu, select Web bookmark. You can also type/bookmarkto go directly to it.
-
Paste or type the URL into the input. Then press
Enter.
NocoDocs gets the details of the page and replaces the input with the bookmark card. Click the card to open the link.
What the Card Shows
| Element | Source |
|---|---|
| Title | The page's title |
| Description | The page's summary or social-preview description |
| Site icon & domain | The site's favicon and hostname |
| Preview image | The page's social-preview image. NocoDocs caches it, so the card still renders if the original image moves. |
If a page's details can't be fetched — for example, the site is unreachable or blocks preview requests — the bookmark remains a clean, clickable link card with just the URL.
Web Bookmarks vs Embeds
Both start from a URL, but they have different purposes:
| Block | What it does | Use it to |
|---|---|---|
| Web bookmark | Shows a compact, static preview card that links to the page. | Refer to something. |
| Embed | Renders live, interactive content from a supported platform directly in the document. | Show something. |
Looking to pin workspaces, projects, tables, and views for quick navigation instead? That's the separate Bookmarks feature in the workspace dock.
