I'm primarily a Lightroom Classic user but use the cloud-version on my ipad so I also. have it installed on my Macbook. Today I discovered that "Community" and "Learn" takes up a lot of screen space on the left side panel. But I can't find out how to remove these from my left panel.

I use Lightroom for my own photos and have no interest in using it for browsing other peoples photos. Do I have to go back to a previous version or will this bug be fixed?

Totally agree, I want to work with and process my own photos only. Not even having an option to turn off or hide ‘community’ is frustrating at the very least, thou tbh at this point I feel like Adobe has stopped listening to ‘community’ requests and feedback.

I keep considering CaptureOne.. haven’t been brave enough to press the button yet thou as I’ve been using PhotoShop and Lightroom for over a decade.

Another issue with the same concern under a different name, and another comment requesting not to have Learn/Community forced on them

@AskB @csgaraglino I suggest upvoting this feature request (conveniently not returned when you search for “remove learn community” in feature requests...)

Agree, this is a wasted space. I’m also using a 13” laptop and it’s like buying a car only to find 4 passangers in the backseat that comes with the car…

I do use Lightroom Classic on my home computer, but the cloud version on my laptop and this sucks.

Hi @csgaraglino, thanks so much for reaching out!
You can minimize the panel by clicking the arrow next to “Community.”
Hope that helps! Let me know if you need anything else.
