Let’s dive deep into each update 👇

Instant preview for your changes

How will this featured image look on my homepage? Will this be a good background for my cover? We know you’ve asked these questions before and waited for good ~5 minutes to figure out the answer. We also know that crafting content is a hard job, and we don’t want to burden you with these questions.

With this update, you can preview your changes in real-time before you make them live for the world to see. All you have to do is click on the 👁 preview button.

The instant preview feature is available with all the paid plans. If you’re not on a paid plan but want to test it out, you can create a new site for the trial.

Instant preview is currently in beta. Here’re some limitations:

• Preview doesn’t work for scheduled posts, integrations, and injected CSS/JS.
• If you delete a post or move post from published to draft, preview server will restart automatically to reflect your changes. This might take ~1 minute.

Link existing posts/pages with ease

Internal linking is a great strategy to boost your SEO, decrease the bounce rate and increase dwell time.

But I can always link other posts/pages by copy-pasting links! What’s new?

Draftbox will prefetch internal links you add with Link block. That means when your users click on that link, it will instantly load the linked page. For example, here’s a post on 5 ranking factors Google considers that you might not be aware of. Click on the link and see how fast the linked page loads. Isn’t it amazing?

Improved view for smaller images

Earlier smaller images used to stretch out to the width of the article, making them pixelated. Now you can add smaller images without worrying about them getting stretched.
