What I did: copied sharepoint urls into notes like: https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/Directory/xxxxxx
(I have this a couple of times every day)

What happened: the „: x :“ (without spaces) gets replaced by a :x: and the link is broken

What I expected: that an URL will not automatically get manipulated

Things that might be helpful to know (Agenda version, OS and model, etc): Version 20.0.1 (337) - Mac App Store

Oh, wow, I didn’t realize that was even a legal URL.

The problem is that we use the :symbol: for emojis. Eg. : smiley : is :smiley:

I recommend typing a \ (backslash) first, then pasting. This will cause it to not recognize any special characters in the pasted text.

thanks that works, maybe you can integrate a check that : something : does not get replaced in an URL (works in this forum e.g.).

no idea if that is an legal url but ms onedrive is using it so it may not be that uncommon :wink:
