Connection timeout checkbox is not available to an ORG admin, why?

Question

Whenever I write a page on Confluence, if I include a link, such as www.google.ie, Confluence seems to access this site automatically in the background. How can I prevent this automatic behavior?

I am looking for a global setting that can turn this feature off, otherwise, I have to manually change the link to a text, that is a lot of tedious work. The followig setting "Connection timeouts" is not working, but I am an ORG admin, this choice should be available to me, but not actually at moment. Any ideas?

Please help and much appreciated.

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated anyway.

Yes, we have a problem now is that our team try to cooy some word doc into confluence, and that doc has a lot of links, some of the links are our important data servers, but confluence just kept checking that link which brings an unneccasry performance issue to ourselves.

Based on some research in the last couple of days, in the setting page, I can not uncheck the box below, if this can be done, it looks like it will not try to access the links anymore.

Any ideas?

Hi @Eddie Li and Welcome to the Community.

Inline code doesn't automatically create a link.

On a Mac, CMD+Shift+M invokes the monospace font, type a single letter, paste the link, remove the the single letter that you typed. Not the most elegant solution, I admit.

Maybe there's something on the Cloud org level but that's beyond my expertise.
