Hello
Is there a mechanism to prevent the check and prompting of updates for a lab environment? We don't want the users seeing the upgrade prompt and trying to perform the update.
Thanks
Hi Mohammad,
Unfortunately, it is not possible; I'll take it as a note and pass it to our teams as a feature request.
Kind regards,
