We will review the construction of smooth super Maldacena-Wilson loops in full non-chiral N=4 superspace. These loop operators represent finite observables and are therefore ideally suited to study Yangian symmetry. We will derive the action of the conformal and Yangian generators on these Wilson loops and subsequently discuss the Yangian invariance of the planar one-loop expectation value paying particular attention to local terms and boundary contributions.
