Hi @nanpoulos - thanks for reaching out. This issues is connected to the issue noted here: [Help! The image files aren't loading. Any idea why?](https://community.vscodeedu.com/t/help-the-image-files-arent-loading-any-idea-why/1037).

As a suggestion, in projects, external images will appear on published sites but not in the Preview. We have noted the issue and are working on a fix so that external images appear in the Preview as you expect based on your feedback.

Similar to the other issue, I’m going to leave this feedback open so that I can reply back once we have a fix implemented.
