Hiding the chart by default might be easy, but it could also make it less discoverable for users who need it. Here are some alternative ideas:

Collapsible chart: Allow users to hide/expand the chart.
Toggle button: Provide a quick way to show/hide the chart.
Settings menu: Give users control over what elements they see. I have experience with web development (HTML, CSS, JS) and might be able to help implement these if needed.

Hi @alisman are you working on this?

Hi @inodb I have a question regarding this issue. The way I understand this is there should be a list of sorts that records which charts to show by default. I just need to remove Timeline Events Availability(or CLINICAL_EVENT_TYPE_COUNTS_TABLE) from that list. The problem is I am having trouble finding that list. I did find where the priorities are mentioned in StudyViewConfig.ts:

https://github.com/cBioPortal/cbioportal-frontend/blob/ff03554180e62481bdc240acd5521601b07d124a/src/pages/studyView/StudyViewConfig.ts#L141-L143

But how does the system decide which charts to show by default?

@inodb Was really interested to resolve this issue and to engage with the codebase in depth. Please review this PR! thanks!
