How do I close the welcome page

wudikcc · December 9, 2024, 7:11am

When I preview the file, there’s a welcome page showing some updates. I looked at F12 and found welcome.html. If I don’t want it to show, how do I turn it off, please

Hello @wudikcc welcome to collabora online forums!

I see…

There is option available in coolwsd.xml

    <welcome>
      <enable type="bool" desc="Controls whether the welcome screen should be shown to the users on new install and updates. When enabled, your custom welcome screen must be created at /usr/share/coolwsd/browser/dist/welcome/welcome.html." default="false">false</enable>
    </welcome>

you can disable welcome page using this welcome flag

Thanks
Darshan

I added this configuration and restarted coolwsd, but it did not take effect and still displayed the welcome page;

If I delete welcome.html from the server, won’t it show?

@wudikcc, you can also display your custom welcome page. Just a heads-up: this dialog appears only when a new version is introduced. So, the welcome page will be shown at least once for every new version.

Thank you for your answer, if you customize the welcome page, is it to replace welcome.html?

thanks

No, @wudikcc, it’s not possible to completely hide it. Since this is the community version, the dialog is displayed once to inform users about new updates. It’s quite helpful, as it highlights Collabora Online’s commit logs, allowing users to visit the main website and read the release notes to explore what’s new in the latest version.

In home mode they can disable the welcome dialog, but then they have 10 concurrent documents and 20 concurrent connection limitation.
