This is not really a bug report I guess, but perhaps more of a question/complaint, but I didn’t know where else to post it (feel free to move it around). I noticed that in the windows app, workflowy automatically turns something like x.yz into a hyperlink, which, when clicked opens my browser and goes to x.yz. I don’t know if this is a new feature (I have never noticed it before). Is there a way to turn it off (or at least of removing the hotlinks after they have been created)? Here is what happened to me: I typed M.Sc. (short for Master of Science) and workflowy turned it into a hotlink to a virus-infected/dangerous website. It would be quite nice if that could be prevented! I ended up inserting a space after M., but I would really prefer to just turn that automatic-link-generator off! Any way to do this?

  That's a great point. We'll see what we can do there.

  We did as you suggested. This should now no longer be a hyperlink. Let us know if there are other "bad links" we should turn off.
