How do I disable the navigation controls on Supersites?

In version 17, you might notice when previewing your transitional supersite, there are some controls that appear briefly at the bottom left side of the screen:

These are designed to make users aware that they can use their keyboard to navigate through the pages, however if you wish to disable this from appearing, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Close Xara (important - changes will not take effect if the program is open)
  2. Go to Start > Type 'regedit' and press enter
  3. Navigate to this key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\HTMLFilter\9.0\ForcePresentationControls
  4. Double-click on the default value there, and change it to 0.
  5. Click ok and close the registry edit.

You should now be able to re-publish or preview your supersite and the controls should not appear.

Designer Pro+

If you are using Designer Pro+, from version 20.6 onwards this is disabled by default. For navigation controls, go to Utilities > Web Properties > Export and check the Navigation Bar option
