I am using a data app and have inserted a link to SharePoint in the last text widget.  
\<a href="file://Link to SharePoint  
When I look at the “Interactive view output” on the last component in the workflow, I can click on the link and it takes me to the page. When I run the app on Knime Business Hub, the link does not work. What should I do?

As far as I know there is some sort of “sanitising” of html etc. happening when data apps run on business hub ( for security reasons ).

I have not yet found a way to solve it I am afraid.

Hello @wagnerix ,

As @MartinDDDD pointed out that with the release of 5.2.2 KNIME executors will have HTML sanitization of old JavaScript View nodes and Widget nodes turned on by default. This should ensure that no malicious HTML can be output. For more information check the [KNIME Analytics Platform 5.2.2 changelog](https://docs.knime.com/2023-12/analytics_platform_installation_guide/index.html#html-sanitization).

It is still possible to achieve the old behaviour by turning the sanitization off globally both for **KNIME Hub** execution contexts (see instructions [here](https://docs.knime.com/2023-12/business_hub_user_guide/index.html#html-sanitization-hub))

I hope it helps!
