How to disable link preview thumbnail pop-ups?

[Johann E_]

Hello, the pop-ups are disturbing at work because they cover other links that I want to open in new tab. Please provide an (general!) option in my settings to disable the pop ups.

• Before it was one click on middle mouse button to open links in new tabs.
• Now it is two clicks and I have to wait for the pop-ups.

I totally agree, the pop-ups are disturbing at work.

Hi Johann,

Thanks for reaching out!

I'm afraid it's not possible to turn off link previews if links are inline links. You can read more about smart links here: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-links-and-anchors/#Smart-links.

With that said, it may be helpful to change your links to display as regular URLs rather than inline. You can do this at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/link-preferences – just ensure you've selected 'Display URL'.

With that said, you should be able to open the link in a new tab by pressing Control / Command and clicking on the link.

Let me know how that goes,
