## 3Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will hiding the link affect my clients' ability to set up SMTP?

No. This only hides the visible help doc link — it doesn't change or restrict the underlying email service settings or functionality.

Q: Where exactly do I paste the custom CSS?

In **Settings → Agency Settings**, scroll down to the **Custom CSS** field and paste the snippet there.

Q: Does this apply to one sub-account or the whole agency?

Custom CSS set at the agency level applies across your agency's client-facing views. Check your specific settings location if you only want it applied more narrowly.

Q: How do I bring the link back later?

Remove the .hl\_\_smtp-help-doc snippet from the Custom CSS field and save — the link will reappear.

Q: Can I hide other elements the same way?

Yes, the same approach works for other elements that expose a stable CSS class — target the class with display: none; in the Custom CSS field.

Q: Could a future update break this snippet?

It's possible if the underlying class name changes in a future release. If the link reappears unexpectedly after an update, check whether the class name has changed.
