How do I disable the Discover panel?

[Hakan Lindgren]

The new Discover panel is a total nuisance. It pops up in front of my work all the time. If I close it, it just jumps back up. How do I disable it?

Hi @Hakan Lindgren do you mean the actual discover panel or the smaller tool tips that pop up when you hover over a tool?

The Discover panel should close permanently until you either choose it from the Help menu or if you have a shortcut assigned to something in that menu.

I mean the big Discover panel that started popping up after the latest update of Photoshop. When I close it, it just jumps back after a few moments. I want to disable it once and for all. How do I do this?

I have the same issue when working on my laptop instead of plugging into a keyboard. I'd like to disable the discover panel or change the shortcut if possible?

The shortcut for the annoying Discover panel is Ctrl+F, which I accidentally hit. HOW DO I TURN THIS OFF???

[JoseGIHP]

So after about an hour of back and forth with Adobe Customer support (inclusing a moment when they requested remote access to my desktop), there is a solution. The Keyboard Shortcut edit for the Discover Panel is listed as "Search"
So it is Edit> Keyboard Shortcuts and Menus> Application Menu> Edit > Search > Delete Shortcut.
Shouldn't take an internet deep dive plus 45 minutes of customer support to get to this information.

Sorry. Not a solution to disabling the Discover panel, but a solution to not accidentally opening it.

Just wanted to say thank you. You helped me out and I want you to know that your efforts made a difference to someone else out there.

Thank you ever so much! Now the shortcut to the annoying Discover panel is GONE.

Tiny victories over interface annoyances are so satisfying.

The Discovery Panel also randomly pops up in MacOS Sonoma. While in Finder, and in any Adobe App. ITS SO ANOYING! I have to type somethng in the search just to make it go away

Where is this Prefrence at. Which app I don't see this "Tools" option?

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

@Marc33744361uaxb what version of Photoshop are you using?

[Marc33744361uaxb]

I thought this was for all Adobe software across the board, I saw it in Photoshop, but the "Discovery" dialog started poping up in Illustrator and InDesign, Photoshop was not even on.

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

That is a feature in all applications - found under the magnifying glass icon or the help menu.

[Marc33744361uaxb]

Duhh. Thanks

Really annoying indeed. We are pros, no need for constant suggestions, specially via - quite frankly ugly - pop up. Adobe, please listen.
