Hi,

the newly added feature of the Task pane is very invasive in the workspace area. It'd be nice to be able to disable it (at tenant or workspace level), or to reduce the "importance". Or at least make it a possible layout like the lineage, not the default one.

Users are used to workspace as list of reports, this takes away all the space in the page.

+1 , give us the ability to disable this monstrosity. By default it takes up 50% of the real estate, many of my users work in the field on 14" laptops and now they barely see any reports. Sure you can hide it, but why is it not hidden by default or a different menu on the left? There are already buttons.On top of it we have no control over the feature, anything you do is auto saved and objects are created with no user prompt. I accidentally created 3 dataflows and 2 datalakes just by testing it.

RE: Disable\Reduce the view of Tasks Worlflows in Power BI

Great idea to add a feature that enables documentation in the workspace itself. However taking up half the screen by default, and in all workspaces, is a bit excessive.Also, the item filter doesn't work in combination with the folders. Items that are added to a workflow, but are stored inside a folder, are not shown when clicked on the workflow task. You have to navigate into the folder itself for the items to show, which defeats the purpose of the filter.

Agree--there's no reason for users with view only to see this, and yet they get it and are asking questions.
