How to turn off hints/tooltips in XD?

I can't find a way to turn off hints/tooltips in XD. For example, I'm seeing them every time when I resize a group or a repeat grid, or when I open the Assets panel... I think I was able to turn them off before but with the latest update they came back. Anybody esle having this issue? Is it possible to turn them off? Thanks

Hi Everyone,

 

We added a way for you to turn hotspots off on the web prototypes. You can now add “?hints=off” to your URL and no hotspots will show.

In the future, we’ll add this option to the Share Online dialog, but, for now, you can just add the additional parameter to your URL.

 

You can also disable Help tips by selecting Help > Disable Feature Tooltips to disable the pop-up help content.

 

If your use case includes one where you want cursor changes off, please vote on this issue and make a comment:

Hope it helps.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

I would like to disable them as well. When will Preferences be available?

    Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing for us to help you better? Also can you provide us with info on the OS that you are on, its version number, and the version number of XD that you are using currently?

    Oh, how I hope this gets answered someday!

    The links provided on Mar 30 have absolutely nothing to do with your request and the associated screen captures. 

     

    It seems every update resets these things.

    They cover up essential work area have to be manually dismissed over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over......and over again.
