Disable or Modify "Hide Notes" Function in InCopy to Prevent Accidental Toggle

We have experienced workflow disruptions due to the "Hide Notes" function in InCopy. 

Is there any way that to disable the "Hide Notes" function entirely?

 

Some teammates are accidentally toggling this feature, causing all notes to disappear without a clear visual indicator of the change. This results in confusion and wasted time as they try to figure out how to restore the notes. Thanks!

You can remove it from the menu but killing that functionality completely? No way I can think of.

If it's that big of a problem, perhaps some training is in order.

Thanks for your reply. Right, we would like to keep the note always shown because in case accidentally trigger the "hide notes", there's not any indicator displayed on InCopy as hint that there're some hidden notes. This causes errors if the team misses those notes.

Like I said, remove it from the menu and if you want even more assurance, kill the KBSC as well. Beyond that, you'd probably need some type of custom solution.
