Is there a setting to disable to click counts to external links? I’m not sure I want everyone to see how many clicks we are sending to another site.

I don’t believe there’s a setting to disable the count, but you can hide it via CSS. Something like this should work.

```css
.badge.badge-notification.clicks {
    display: none;
}

```

FYI: We’ve pushed an update to how click counters are implemented. Please use the following updated CSS if you wish to hide it:

```scss
a[data-clicks]::after {
     display: none;
}

```
