This confirmation is totally unnecesary and real overkill! Please remove this step! #11573

Not sure how this is in Craft 4, but in Craft 3 when removing panels from the Dashboard after clicking the cross to remove it, we also get an alert as confirmation. When needing to remove all panels from each new installation this is wayyyyy to overkill to me. We'd like to just remove all panels by clicking first, second, third and fifth cross-buttons in the dashboard settings. But now we need to do all kinds of extra clicks as if it's something huge what's happening here. While we can easily re-enable panels in the same settings, even if we would accidentally remove one.
Please, remove this way over the top alert-box! It doesn't make any sense to us to have this extra confirmation for such a small action. It should be easy for you to remove this alert in code, but the outcome will be a way cleaner looking, easier UI with less steps! Thanks in advance! |

I hardly ever use dashboard widgets, but imagine this gets old fast if you're doing bulk editing. It's a good protection from mis-clicks though.

@MattWilcox Sorry, either you didn't read my post fully, or you didn't get what I wrote at all. BTW scary people seeing this alert would be even more scared: |

This last screenshot looks like an actual bug with the Support widget not having all the recommended/required title/label properties defined… i.e. "Craft News (Feed)" is has a configured "name" of |

We discussed this a bit in Discord, and the consensus was that the confirmation dialog should remain, since it’s an immediately destructive action. While I realize this falls a bit into the “tech savvy” territory, it’s possible to quickly delete multiple widgets, even with the confirmation dialogs, using keyboard controls. There was a suggestion to make it easier to “reset” the Dashboard to a blank slate, without needing to delete each widget individually. While that could help this specific situation, I’m not sure it’s a common enough problem to warrant the additional UI. Instead, we are going to look into improving the flash notice UI so that they can become interactive by including links or buttons, etc. In this case, that could mean adding an “Undo” button to the |

@brandonkelly Thanks. And ooooh, when quickly reading it I like this: (Just a thing to keep in mind if you target mobile and touch driven devices too: on mobile devices and touch there's no such thing as hover) Great to see these changes and thanks for taking this seriously! Very appreciated |

Yeah that specific feature doesn’t apply to mobile, but if you tap anywhere in the notification, it will be treated the same as a click on a desktop browser, and keep the notification visible indefinitely, until you tap the close button. |
