Embedding files in Medium
Whimsical files can be embedded in Medium stories. Here’s how:
In a new story, simply paste the file’s URL into the body, and it will automatically be be shown as an embed:
Note:
- The file must be public if you want other people to view it — learn more about file permissions here — It’s not possible to view boards which require you to be logged into Whimsical.
- Docs aren’t currently supported, only boards, wireframes and projects may be embedded.
