    Description

      The new Dashboard blocks Timeline, Recently accessed courses, Recently accessed items, Starred courses and Course overview can only be added to the Dashboard (controlled by a myaddinstance capability).

      It is not possible to add any of the blocks to a course page, so there is no need for an addinstance capability. Thus, the following capabilities need to be removed:

      block/timeline:addinstance
      block/recentlyaccessedcourses:addinstance
      block/recentlyaccesseditems:addinstance
      block/starredcourses:addinstance
      block/myoverview:addinstance
