LINK REVIEW · Workflow idea

See what a link preview can tell you before sharing.

Check a supplied link for an available preview and make the result clear to the person handling it. When a preview exists, bring its available details into review; when it does not, leave that outcome visible too.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person submitting a link they are considering for a message or team resource

“Check whether a preview is available for the submitted link and return the available preview details for human review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps people quickly see whether a supplied link has preview information that may be useful when preparing a message or resource.

  1. Collect the link and its intended use

    Record the submitted link and ask what message, resource, or conversation it is meant to support.

  2. Check whether a preview is available

    Determine whether there is preview information to review, without treating its presence as a judgment about the destination.

  3. Bring preview details to the requester

    Show available preview information in context, or make it clear when there is no preview to inspect.

  4. Check the destination and context

    Have a person verify the original destination, relevance, and content before relying on the link.

  5. Approve before public sharing

    Require human review of the link and surrounding wording before it is included in a public post or announcement.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A clear indication of whether a preview is available, with preview information ready for a person to inspect when present.

The handoff

A clear indication of whether a preview is available, with preview information ready for a person to inspect when present.

Keep in mind

A preview is not a safety check or a guarantee that linked content is accurate, current, or appropriate. Open and verify the destination carefully; get human approval before including a link in a public statement.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose how people submit links

Decide what information should accompany a link, including the reason it is being considered.

Choose who reviews preview results

Name the person or team that checks the destination and decides whether the link is appropriate for its intended use.

Set rules for public use

Require a person to verify links and approve the exact surrounding wording before external publication.

Test links with and without previews

Check that both outcomes are understandable and that neither is presented as proof of accuracy or safety.
