## Short answer

Select the close icon on the Resource Center to hide it from the Adalo builder. The change lasts for the current browser session; reload the builder tab to show the Resource Center again.

The Resource Center is part of the builder workspace, not the app you are building. Close it when it covers an editor control, and reload the builder tab whenever you need the panel again.

## Intended outcome

The Resource Center no longer covers builder controls, and you can restore it without changing the app.

## Requirements

- Access to an Adalo app in the web builder
- The Resource Center panel visible in the builder

## Step by step

1. **Find the Resource Center**

   Open the affected app in the Adalo builder and locate the Resource Center panel and its close icon.

2. **Hide the panel**

   Select the close icon once, then confirm the Resource Center no longer covers the builder controls you need.

3. **Restore it when needed**

   Reload the same browser tab. The Resource Center should return after the builder reloads.

## Why it works

- The close icon changes the builder workspace only; it does not edit screens, components, records, or the published app.
- The hide state is temporary by design in the forum announcement, because reloading the browser tab restores the panel.

## Common failures

### The close icon is not visible

Reload the builder and inspect the Resource Center again. If the control is still absent, treat the builder UI as changed and report the discrepancy instead of relying on browser-script workarounds.

### The Resource Center does not return after a reload

Confirm that the Adalo builder itself finished reloading. If the panel remains missing, use the correction link on this Answer because the documented forum behavior may have changed.

## Testing checklist

- [ ] Close the Resource Center and confirm the previously covered builder control is usable.
- [ ] Reload the browser tab and confirm the Resource Center is visible again.
- [ ] The Resource Center no longer covers nearby builder controls
- [ ] No screen or component settings changed
- [ ] Reloading the builder restores the panel

## Limitations

- Adalo confirmed this behavior in a July 2026 forum Changelog post, but no matching current Help Center walkthrough was found during review.
- The documented hide state is temporary; the forum announcement does not describe a persistent account-level preference.
- Builder controls can move or change, so this forum-only Answer remains noindex and is reviewed for corrections.

## Community evidence

### [Turn off resource center ‘learn adalo’ button](https://forum.adalo.com/t/turn-off-resource-center-learn-adalo-button/66347/4)

The accepted reply says the Resource Center can now be hidden and points to the Adalo Changelog announcement. Boundary: The forum reply documents builder behavior rather than a Help Center-supported workflow.

### [You can now hide the Resource Center from the editor/builder](https://forum.adalo.com/t/you-can-now-hide-the-resource-center-from-the-editor-builder/67416)

The Changelog says to use the close icon and reload the browser tab to restore the Resource Center. Boundary: The announcement is short and does not promise a permanent hide preference.
