Troubleshooting
Troubleshoot thumbnails and share previews
Understand why cards or Messenger/SMS previews might show the wrong image.
For: Owners, admins, and support
- Check the content card
Inside the app, cards should show the uploaded preview, fetched link image, video thumbnail, PDF thumbnail, or a clear fallback icon.
- Check the public share page
Messaging apps read Open Graph metadata from the public share page. The title and thumbnail must be available to crawlers without authentication.
- Give crawlers a stable image
For reliable previews, the public share route should serve crawler-friendly metadata while humans still open the normal public content page.
