    94 There is nothing to worry about! When you upgraded to Version 1.2, your site is now using the latest version of our technology and this means that the current product settings on the Installation page in your Skimlinks Publisher Interface have taken effect. If you have SkimWords enabled on that page, this is why links are being added to your content. You can change these settings to suit your needs in your [Publisher Interface](https://skimlinks.com/login/settings) at anytime. You can read more about SkimWords, Skimlinks' in-text monetization product, on [our website](http://skimlinks.com/skimwords).
