# Premium features

What you get with an Are.na Premium subscription

Upgrading to Premium removes the connection limit on your account and unlocks a handful of features for reading and organizing your content. Here's a look at what's included. For pricing and how to upgrade, see [Billing and Subscriptions](/docs/account/billing-and-subscriptions.md).

### Unlimited connections

On a free (Guest) account, you can make up to 200 [Connections](/docs/getting-started/connections.md). Premium removes the limit entirely, so you can keep connecting blocks and channels as much as you like.

### Reader mode

Reader mode pulls the full text out of a link block, so articles and other long links are easy to read right on Are.na.

### Full-text search

Because reader mode extracts the text of your links, that text becomes searchable too. Search can look inside the full content of a block, so you can find it by what's written inside, not just by its title or description.

### Table view

Table view displays the contents of a channel as a list with columns for metadata like title, source, and the date a block was added. It's a good fit for channels you treat more like a database than a moodboard, and makes it easy to scan and sort a lot of blocks at once.

### Custom block thumbnails

With Premium you can manually set the thumbnail for link and file blocks, so they look just the way you want in a grid. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see [Editing blocks](/docs/getting-started/blocks/editing-blocks.md).

### Pinned blocks

Pinning keeps a block at the top of a channel no matter how the rest of the contents are sorted. It's a good way to keep an important reference always in view at the start of a channel.

### Supporter perks

The Supporter tier includes everything in Premium, plus a few extras for members who want to contribute a little more toward Are.na's future:

* Early access to new features
* A free [Are.na Annual](https://www.are.na/editorial/introducing-the-are-na-annual-2024)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.are.na/docs/getting-started/premium-features.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
