      In Moodle 4.0, the Course overview block is being moved from the Dashboard to My courses. This will leave only the calendar and timeline blocks on the Dashboard.

      For sites which don't use the calendar or timeline blocks, such as sites offering self-paced courses, it would be good to provide the option to disable the Dashboard.

      Adrian edit We've had a few developers ask about being able to customise the primary header. Can we please investigate expanding this issue to cover adding and removing any combination of the primary navigation items?
