### Step 2 - Add a URL to a Board Link Column

1. **Click into the relevant Item's Link Column** - Universal Embedder will only work when a link is added to a Link Column, so make sure your column is the right type.&#x20;
2. **Grab the URL you want to add** - first make sure the link is publicly available. If you need a hand figuring out how to generate a shareable link you can read [our guide here](https://docs.easyappshq.com/universal-embedder-documentation/generating-a-shareable-link/how-to-generate-a-shareable-link).

## Step 3 - Click on the Link Column you want to display

Within the Universal Embedder View, all of the Link Columns that contain a URL for that Item are viewable from there. To display your link:

1. Click on the name of the column it was added to.&#x20;
2. This will open up a preview of that link embedded directly into monday. Voilà!
