Hi Srik,

When user removes this Welcome dashlet, It gets stored in profile preference. And from Share UI, I dont think any configuration is availble to change preference.

If you check out welcome dashlet desc file - dynamic-welcome.get.desc.xml . It doesnt contain

<family>‍

tag So it doesnt get disaplyed in dashlet list.

You can add this tag so dashlet will be available in list but I am not sure if dashlet contents would work as it is! You may try it!

Site dashbaord page is implemented using surf presets,presets are essentially parameterised abstract spring surf artefact definitions (Pages, Template-Instances, Components, etc) defined in XML files that can be used to generate concrete ModelObject instances(dashboard page for example).
If a user customize his dashboard (for example delete welcome dashlet widget ),a concrete page object which stands for user's customized dashaboard will be generated from presets and will be stored in the repository store under path .
So you can restore a user's share default dashboard by deleting nodes with path /Company Home/sites/surf-config/pages/user/{USERNAME}/dashboard.xml or you can just modify this file manually to add welcome dashlet widget.
If you want to restore a user's other site's default dashboard ,You can delete nodes with path /Company Home/sites/{SiteName}/surf-config/pages/user/{USERNAME}/dashboard.xml or just modify this file manually to add welcome dashlet widget.

Since surf object is cached ,after deleting or modifying dashboard.xml you should restart you server to put it into effect.
welcome dashlet is just an ordinary dashlet ,I don't think you can block the deletion of this dashlet now.

I wonder why you would want that banner back, when so many people are annoyed like hell that it exists at all 😉 But I think there must be a similar way to force the yellow banner for some users : since replacing the <#if showDashlet> by <#if false> removes it, <#if true> will show it permanently and <#if some_condition_related_to_user_names_or_groups> should allow you to tune its appearance.

Personnally, my concern is completely opposite : why is is so complex to disable definitively this enormous ans useless yellow balk.

Of course, a workaround solution has been available as https://myalfresco.force.com/support/KnowledgeWrapperITdotcom?SolutionID=413WrmlPlm or https://myalfresco.force.com/support/kA9D0000000GmoCKAS?lang=en_US&popup=true for several years. But is it so difficult to understand that for many customers/admins, a simple box to click in some admin UI page would improve usability ?

At least a few more links to those "solutions" pages surely can't hurt.

I wonder if this placeholder could be (mis)used to some more useful usage, such as the MOTD for Alfresco request I made earlier today. IOW, is there some kind of "dynamic-welcome" call in some dashboard template/component that could be used to show something different ?
