How to Embed Maps or External Web Content in Plannerly DOCS
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Navigate to your document
- Open the relevant project in Plannerly.
- Go to the Docs module and open the document where you want to insert the map or external content.
-
Edit the desired section
- Locate the section where you want to embed the content.
- Ensure the section is in In Progress status and switch to Edit Mode.
-
Create the iframe HTML code
- Copy the share or embed URL for the content (map, video, website, etc.).
- Wrap the URL inside an iframe tag:
<iframe src="URL_HERE" width="100%" height="400" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
- Adjust width and height as needed.
- If unsure, you can use an AI tool to generate the iframe snippet for you.
-
Embed the iframe
- Paste the iframe code directly into the section.
- The external content will display inline within the document.
-
Save and preview
- Save the document after inserting the embed.
- Preview to confirm the content loads correctly.
-
Document and communicate
- Add a short caption such as “Site location map – interactive view.”
- Remind team members they can click or interact with the embedded content.
Key Notes and Limitations
- Embedding only works if the external website allows iframe embedding.
- Embedded interactive content does not carry over to PDF or Word exports.
- For offline exports, only the link will remain functional.
