Turn off annoying 'How To' boxes

[mikeklepper]

Every time I use any Adobe software I have to deal with the insanely annoying boxes that try to teach me how to use basic features that I've been using for years. I'm not an idiot and don't need Abobe to explain how to use these things every single time  I open the program. How can I turn these off for all Adobe programs? It makes for a poor user experience.

In my experience, after I click the OK/Done/Got it button visible on each, they don't come back until I reset my preferences in that one application. There is no global option to turn them off for all applications. You can file feature requests with Adobe. For example, you can request this on InDesign here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/. 

BTW, I'm a daily user of InDesign and a career InDesign instructor. I saw an alert box yesterday after the 19.5 update for Find/Change Text Case and thought wow, that's new! I don't think they are bad, but that's simply my opinion. I respect your opinion that they aren't helpful for you. And maybe you are better at keeping up with the new features list than I am.

I'm glad your experience is different but this does not help me. If my experience was the same as yours I wouldn't be posting here. CC Libraries is not a new feature and I shouldn't have to close this box every time I open a CC Library, along with other features that are not new.

Hi @mikeklepper:

I hoped I had addressed these points in my first response:

• No, there is no global button to  turn these off for all Adobe programs, though once you click past them, they don't come back (in my experience), and
• Post a feature request to change this behavior using the link provided to let Adobe know how you feel. 

I see you are new here (welcome). The forum moderators are users like you (though vetted by Adobe to answer user questions on their behalf). Use the uservoice site to communicate with directly with the Adobe engineering team(s).
