How to hide the Favourites tab

Note:

This is a workaround solution, not an actual configurable feature via the plugin

Design Considerations:

The Favourites tab was added so that:

existing users who are used to the original Jira Favourites is still able to find it from the Dashboard page
users that does not have any folder setup for them will not find it confusing or hard to navigate between Dashboard

^ Please note the above considerations before applying the workaround

Log in as an administrator into Jira
Select User Interface > Announcement banner in the System panel or use the shortcut 'g'+'g' and type in "Announcement Banner"

Enter the relevant CSS below into the Announcement field:

    border-top: none;
}
</style>
