When I create links via quicklinks webpart, end users get a blank page when I add an image to the quicklink. If I don't add an image, it redirects me to the correct url. Also this doesn't happen to...

Thanks for reporting your issue Robert Graauw.

I'm not sure I fully understand what's happening.

You create a modern page (e.g. demo.aspx)
You add the quick link webpart
You add link #1 to quick links (e.g. Title = Bing, URL = http://www.bing.com)
1. You add a preview image for the link #1 (e.g. dog.png)
You then add link #2 (e.g. Title = Google, URL = http://www.google.com)
1. You don't use any custom image for the link, you just leave ti at the default globe
You publish the page
The page looks fine to you, and the links work for you

What happens for others that look at the page?

They don't see the dog image next to the word Bing?

Or when they click the link titled Bing and get a blank page?

OR...?

Thanks

Hi John,

Thnx for taking the time to reply.

The issue i'm having is that in scenario/step 3, the end users who are not in the first release group, are able to see the image selected for the link, but are redirected to a blank page.

They also don't see the link in the new formatting/style (compact/filmstrip) even if I configure it like that.

Basically, i'm configuring it for myself in this scenario.

When I don't add an image like in scenario/step 4, I see the globe and the endusers see the globe and are also able to navigate to the intended link.

What happens in all scenarios is that the quicklink renders in the latest formatting/style for me, but in the old style for non-preview users.
