Remove Leaving Figma External Link Warning for anyone without an account/not logged in

Im creating a prototype and would like to link to live pages on our site without having the User in the test have to see the “Leaving Figma Warning” page. My concern is that it takes it breaks the illusion of an actual experience.

Is there a way remove this middle page from the experience?

    I don’t know, maybe they are not that worried about their users.

      I understand the need for security.
      What about moving the notification to beginning and state this experience contains links that may lead you outside of the prototype?
      At least then the experience wouldn’t feel disjointed.

        Hey all, thanks for your feedback here. We’ve removed the interstitial here when navigating to external links in both Figma and FigJam!

        Hey @Josh, when following an external link from Presentation view, the intermediate screen still exists.

          Hey @tank666,

          This will only show for the 1st click through, but there will be an option to “Don’t show this next time” that you can check.

            That is, on a user test, this intermediate screen will still be displayed until the user himself checks this item for the specified domain.

                Alright, we were able to dig into this and confirm that right now this will only work in the browser. The desktop app will still show the interstitial for now. The team is looking into this though, so we appreciate the feedback! 🙂

                  Hey @Josh
                  It doesnt work in a browser with a shared link prototype either. Using Chrome on Mac.

                    @Doug_Wickham can you share a screen recording by chance? Feel free to DM if that’s easier
