1. Open Repository and, under Add a live source, choose the kind you are adding

   Figma, Canva, Adobe Express, Loom, Vimeo or Staging site. You can also choose Add link and paste a live link there: IdeaLine recognizes it either way.

2. Paste the Link

   Copy it with the source’s own Share button. The tip in the window says which link works best.

3. Check the line under the link

   It names the source and what you will get, for example “Vimeo · live preview with pins”. If no line appears, IdeaLine keeps it as an ordinary file link.

4. Type a Title, or leave it empty

   For a live source, an empty title is filled in with the name the source reports, such as the Figma file name.

5. Pick a Category and add Tags

   See the next section to add a category of your own.

6. Choose Save

   The button says Checking the link… for a few seconds while IdeaLine asks the source for its title and preview image. Saving never waits longer than that.

Add your own category#

If the name matches a category you already have, IdeaLine uses the existing one. Owners and admins can rename or remove categories under Settings, Workspace, Repository categories. A category you add without saving it to the list still shows as a filter chip while files use it.

Change or remove a live source#

Choose Edit on the card to change any detail, then Save. To remove it, choose Edit, then Delete. Removing it also removes it from every project and idea it was attached to, and deletes its pins. The original file, design or video is never touched.
