Thanks, Amir!

What can people do if they want to see Reference Previews, but not Page Previews?
Currently, nothing. The plan is to offer both features in combination. As for this shared setting, we received different feedback: Some wanted a combined setting to keep the number of user settings small, others wanted a separate setting. For now, we have decided to go with a shared setting.

If an editor currently has the Reference Previews beta feature enabled and the Page Previews (Popups) feature disabled, will they get both enabled or both disabled after the deployment of the combined feature?
The Page Previews user preferences will be respected. In a scenario where a user has Page Previews disabled, Reference Previews will also be disabled.

Best,
Johanna

Reference Previews will be combined with Page Previews[2], a feature showing previews for linked articles. Both perform essentially the same function: previewing content before deciding to dig deeper, and easily providing more information while reading. Because of their similarities in design and behavior, both Page Previews and Reference Previews will be controlled by a single user setting. This means, all users who currently have Page Previews activated, will also get Reference Previews. Also, all readers, anonymous contributors and new users will see Reference Previews per default if they haven’t disabled Page Previews.
