Disabling "Powered by MadCap Software" Backlinks
Outputs Supported
Note Only HTML5 and PDF targets can be added and edited in Central. Also, only the most common target options are available in Central. For all of the additional target options—and to add or edit targets for the other output types—you need to use Flare.
By default, backlinks that say "Powered by MadCap Software" appear at the bottom of topics in HTML5 output. However, you can easily remove them.

Permission Required?
Editing content and project files is an activity available to users with the Author status. By default, users with Author status have the following permissions set:
-
If this is deselected, then viewing files in a read-only mode is allowed. On the left side of the page, the Files vertical three-dot menu is not available.
-
If this is deselected, the XHTML in the Code view is read-only.
Editing code is regarded as a capability for an advanced user. If not done properly, the code can become malformed quickly. Administrators can prevent users from editing the code by deselecting the Edit Code permission.
For more information about permissions, see Setting User Permissions or Setting Team Permissions.
