🚩 Disabled External Link Modification
-
Hello everyone,
I would like to draw your attention to an issue that may be affecting multiple users and has been persisting for the last few months.
In the past, we were able to modify external links by clicking on a gear icon ⚙️ that appeared after selecting the link. This feature allowed us to define whether it was do-follow or not, among other options.
However, now we can only choose whether to open it in a new tab during the initial setup, and we cannot modify it later (only the address is editable). IMO it would be useful to reintroduce this feature.
Thanks,

i wrote it downdo-follow or not
is that the only option you want?

@arminunruh Well, as far as I remember, there were various options available, including the ability to mark the link as Sponsored, add a Title Attribute, and set up CSS Classes and Link Relationship (XFN).

ok!
i guess css class and do-follow or not are important
