Globally turn off the "tour guides" in KNIME 5.4

Feedback & Ideas
1

I don’t know what they are actually called but five days into using the newly released KNIME 5.4, and it is still popping up what I call “features guides” or “tour guides” that tell me what I probably already know, about how the UI works etc, and are now just a distraction.

e.g.

Useful though they are for new users, is there a global setting where I can switch these off?

Hey @takbb,

they should only appear once for each user. Could you give us details about the OS you are using?

Greetings and thanks,
Daniel

Hi @DanielBog , I’m on Windows 10. When you say “appear once” do you mean each tip should appear once? It’s possible each one is only appearing once, but I was hoping I could just say “don’t show any more of them”.

I haven’t seen them today, so maybe they all have done their thing now. thanks.

Hey @takbb,

yes exactly, currently each tip will appear once and you have to close each of them one time.
It should be saved globally per computer so you won’t see them again even after an update or workspace change :wink:

Greetings,
Daniel

Hi @DanielBog Happy new year!

I restarted KNIME 5.4 this morning because it told me the UI was unresponsive (I tried waiting a couple of times and then decided to go with save and restart).

Now all the “tour guides” are bugging me again.

e.g.

I definitely closed that one before, a few weeks back!

It’s also showed me how to connect connectors, told me that K-AI exists, and explained the output data panel. All very useful, but… :wink:

So I think there must be a setting somewhere that can find itself turned back on/off.

EDIT:

And I’ve just (manually) restarted again and here is a guide it showed me (and I closed) about 10 minutes ago, before this subsequent restart:

EDIT (2 hours later…)

It seems desperate to make sure I am fully aware :rofl:

Hey @takbb

Did you know that you can also find more resources via the “Help” button at the top right of the interface?

I also agree that it would be nice to have a setting that removes repetitive new user notifications and sample text in the expression based nodes, but…

Did you know that you can also find more resources via the “Help” button at the top right of the interface?:rofl:

lol @iCFO …I’ve just realised I can also ask K-AI for guidance.

While you’re here, do you have any idea where I can find more resources ? :wink:
