Issues linking an external daily quiz site inside lucid documents

Question

Hi everyone,I’m trying to use lucid to organize and track content for an online quiz workflow, but I keep running into issues when linking or embedding pages from one of the quiz platforms I follow.The page I’m working with is part of a daily telenor quiz flow. When I paste links from it into lucid documents or try to preview them inside a board, sometimes the preview fails to load, the page gets blocked, or the content doesn’t refresh even when the quiz updates.It makes it hard to use lucid as a live reference because I can’t tell if the problem is caused by how that site handles caching, embeds, or security headers, or if it’s something on lucid’s side with link previews and external content.Has anyone here dealt with similar issues when connecting lucid to external quiz or dynamic-content websites? I’d love to know if there’s a workaround or a better way to keep these kinds of pages synced and visible inside lucid.Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi ​@gareth008Using Lucidchart as a hub for dynamic quiz content works well for basic linking and organization, but live previews of external quiz pages will always be hit-or-miss due to how those sites handle caching and security headers.For a more reliable setup, treat Lucid as the organizer (links, notes, answers) and rely on web-based or API-driven automation outside Lucid to pull in or refresh the quiz data itself.Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!Thank you very much and have a great one!Warm regards
