Button X or “esc” suport to close stories in Desktop view

@viniciusbowen Thank you for your suggestion. If you embed stories in a blog post or another area of your site using the Gutenberg block it will allow you to open the story in a lightbox and then allow closing that lightbox to return to the blog post.

Unfortunately, if you are looking to add this exit button when opening a story from the archive page it is not yet easily possible with the plugin.

We are working on ways to improve the archive page, giving you better control over its appearance and whether the stories should open in a lightbox or not.

There are several tickets that you could subscribe to for updates on this matter:

Hopefully, this answers your question.

@viniciusbowen As we haven’t received a response, I’ll mark this as resolved. Feel free to open a new support topic if you continue to encounter issues, or reopen this topic and we’d be happy to assist. Thank you!
