Why was the remove preview button deleted without notice to the authors?

The button to close the Envato frame from Live Previews has been removed!

Our item requires WebRTC to work, so the first thing that we do on the landing page is politely asking the user to close the Envato frame in order for audio / video meetings to work. Now that we noticed that the close button is not available anymore, we developed a button of our own to let users close the frame. But who knows how many users stopped by and did not purchase because they could not test the app! Why not drop an email about the change? Or a pinned forum post at least.

This is our gentle workaround:

Who knows how many other authors are affected… @Envato could you send an email notice? More emails are good, not bad.

Hi! Thanks for reaching out. This is a part of an ongoing experiment - you can see more here. We’re running this test for a week, and only a small percentage of users don’t see the ‘Remove frame’ button. We’re monitoring all the variants closely so if any are underperforming, we will remove them. The data we gather will inform the future of the preview iframe.
