Hi Team, Is there any way to disable access to following features in Knime AP before we distribute internally Knime Community Hub Knime Update Banner and also, Please confirm.. we are hosting Internal Knime Business Hub.. Does user’s will connect to Hub via “Knime Community Hub” ? [Screenshot2026_01_20_165529]

I think we are almost there. Seeing your values in the combined-preferences.epf is encouraging. One thing I found out is that the /instance/ prefix can be omitted, it is stripped before combining anyway (though it does not hurt). The update banner appears, since you still point to the /5.5 “base” update site, which will make AP see that a new feature release (in this case 5.8) is available. To disable it, the update site must be pointing to a subfolder further down: https://update.knime.com/analytics-platform/5.5/latest if you want your users to update to bugfixes in the same feature release, e.g. from 5.5.2 to 5.5.3 or 5.5.4, etc. https://update.knime.com/analytics-platform/5.5/5.5.3 if you want your users to stay exactly on 5.5.3 The second way is suitable if you want to distribute updated bugfix versions yourself; with the first version users will get notified about bugfix updates. As for the mountpoints, the Community Hub is more hardcoded than it may appear based on the epf contents. You need the customization yaml to remove it. Add this to your preferences.epf: org.knime.core/knime.core.ap-customization-configuration=${profile:location}/customization.yml Then in customization.yml what I wrote before : version: 'customization-v1.0' mountpoint: filter: - rule: deny predicate: type: pattern patterns: - api.hub.knime.com isRegex: false I tested it both with ClassicUI and ModernUI and it works in both: [Screenshot 2026-01-27 at 16.04.40] [Screenshot 2026-01-27 at 16.04.33] knime-dev- is my custom Hub I added based on my description above. Let me know if it works (or not :frowning: ).

Disable or Hide Knime Update Banner & Community Hub.
