Hey, I'm currently creating a site for a client using Next.js + Prismic. I have setup the in website preview with the purple toolbar. I was wondering what is the recommended way to allow clients to exit the preview. I can't see anything built into the preview toolbar. I can see that there was a exit-preview endpoint in the next.js example I used. But there isn't a UI element to interact with it. Do I just create a custom one myself? ---

Hi @delanebobdesigns, when you have a preview running, there should be an “X” button in the purple toolbar which will remove the preview cookie and exit the preview: ![Screenshot 2020-05-25 at 11.55.06](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/1X/b1d42789f94200a5e57aa6e8f5f79a1b866557df.png) Give that a try! ---

This will close prismic toolbar and clear the prismic preview cookie, however when using next, for example, we also have a local cookie that enables the system to go straight to prismic and get the correct preview content. When clicking on Prismic X we also need to clear the cookie on our side, commonly done by calling the /api/exit-preview endpoint. Can we customize the X button so that is also preforms this action when being clicked? Thank you ---

@joao Unfortunately this sort of customization isn’t possible and there aren’t any plans currently to add it. I suggest submitting an issue/feature request on the toolbar’s github and/or submitting a PR to add it so our dev team can consider it: > **[prismicio/prismic-toolbar](https://github.com/prismicio/prismic-toolbar)** > > Isn't anymore on npm. Include script static.cdn.prismic.io/prismic.min.js instead - prismicio/prismic-toolbar ---
