Get rid of the "Where shall we start?" panel

Is there a way to get rid of this?

 

Who thought we wanted a panel prominently displayed in the canvas, permanently asking where we should start on boards that are well past starting?

IMO it’s annoying and not a great implementation of this feature.

Seconded - why has someone decided to take up part of my working space with something I do not want or need. 

This is real negative UX

Hello, I cannot agree more!! Please, lose that annoying feature. There must be another way to incorporate an AI chat without taking space on the canvas...

And what’s worse, the panel is even bigger now — it’s taller than any other bar on the canvas UI:

You can hide it by clicking the Hide Sidekick button above the main toolbar.

​@The Data Communicator / ​@Chris Dooley / ​@Eli33 — As ​@Jcampbell points out, Miro has added (yesterday) a toggle for the Sidekicks chat box.
