Autodesk Desktop App - Hide Unwanted Add-Ons

Is there a way to hide unwanted add-ons from the dashboard?

I don't want/need the Space Naming Utility for Autodesk Revit 2017. How can I make this not show up?

Thank you,

Currently there is no way to do this... It has already been asked numerous times..

OMG, that is really unfortunate: It kind of dilutes that application by not really separating the wheat-from-the-chaff so to speak.

Thank you for the quick reply!

For me I don't and I wouldn't rely on that silly interface. I used the original interface once and never again.. I do it the old fashion way and go to the Autodesk web site when I need to update my applications. Meaning just because an update is listed in the Desktop App doesn't mean it I need to install it. What's not broken doesn't need to be fixed.

Another vote for hiding unwanted updates - I have no need for the DACH Extension, or the electrical or the mechanical or the steel . . . last time I accidentally installed the DACH extension, it changed some commands to German. Then I have to figure out how to uninstall it. But the commands were still in German. Not helpful in Texas. :-)~ Now I ignore the DACH update, but I don't necessarily notice new updates because I'm ignoring the DACH update.
