+# Link Preview Tests
+
+Link previews should embed previews of the contents of a hyperlink from a message or comment in the center channel directly below the message or comment.
+
+Post location variation: 
+
+1. Post message in center channel with RHS closed (Expected: preview of first link renders under message) 
+2. Post message in center channel with RHS open (Expected: preview of first link renders under message) 
+3. Post comment in RHS (Expected: link preview does not render) 
+4. View comment in center channel with RHS closed (Expected: preview of first link renders under message) 
+5. View comment in center channel with RHS open (Expected: preview of first link renders under message) 
+6. Search for post in RHS with link (Expected: no previews render in search results) 
+
+Test the above variations with the below sample messages (e.g. 1-A, 2-B, 3-C, 4-D, etc.)
