# Adding Links to Box Notes

export const InlineImage = ({src, alt = "", height = "1em"}) => {
  return <img noZoom src={src} alt={alt} style={{
    display: "inline-block",
    verticalAlign: "middle",
    height: height,
    width: "auto",
    margin: "0"
  }} />;
};

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "has_image , End User , Box Notes , Instructions , Article , Product Utilization , Established , Instruction , P4"}} />

## Anchor Links

Anchor links are automatically created with headers. To copy an anchor link, click the header to see a link icon on the right. Use it internally to jump to sections within the document or externally to open specific sections in a new tab.

* Google Docs, Slides, Sheets
* Youtube
* Spotify

   * Click the upload button in the header of the Note and select Insert link preview to add a link
2. Select how to view the link:
   * Title only (default)
   * As a Preview
   * As a URL
3. For link preview options, click the ellipsis button :

## Box Files Previews

When you add a shared link to a Box Note, Box enables you to create a preview of the link's contents, so you can quickly access the information you need without leaving your Note.

* In the top of the Box Note window, click the up-arrow icon and select Insert preview from Box shared link.

Collaborators with View or better permissions can see the link's preview.
