Hi @Steven_Johnson and welcome to Community 👋

I am genuinely sorry for all the inconvenience caused!

I totally agree that this functionality would bring much convenience to our dashboard. We’ll do our best to reflect your suggestion in our future updates 🙂

However, happy to tell you that there is another way to temporarily hide your widget.

All you need to do is to comment out your installation code. It looks like this: `<!-- your widget's installation code -->`

Thus, when you add the widget’s installation code to your website, you just need to write

`<!--` before the code and `-->` after the code to hide it.

Here is an example of our commented widget:

Please check it and let me know if this was helpful 🙂
