Does anyone know if there is a way to ‘disable’ the RSS Feeds feature on the sidebar?
Subject: Go to View → Sidebar panels…
In your Notes client, go to View → Sidebar panels. Uncheck the plugin you wish to hide.
Subject: RSS Feeds
Thanks, can that be set as a policy someplace?
Subject: Via Eclipse provisioning
I’m looking into this as well. There’s a reference to this in “3.3.1 Managing Lotus Notes 8 client installations” in the IBM Redpaper 4359 “IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8 Reviewer’s Guide”.
Subject: Provisioning…
This is relevant during install. I’m looking to see if there’s a way you can simply hide it while still installed. I hope this helps!

This should work, but not a supported configuration. An enhancement request exists under SPR#: LKIM7DRQ25 “install Activities/Feeds for Notes 8 client (Standard Configuration), but not have it enabled or displayed in UI” and is still open.
To Uncheck the Activities or Feeds (View → Sidebar Panel) and then
remove them from the sidebar, we need to do the following.
- Open the following file: C:\Program
Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\data\workspace.metadata.plugins\com.ibm.rcp.pers
onality.framework\personalityWindowState\com.ibm.rcp.platform.personalit
y.config.xml
-
Search for ‘SidebarState’.
-
Under the following line,
"<SidebarState LAYOUT_WIDTH_DATA=“166” PREVIOUS_WIDTH_DATA=“166”
id=“RIGHT” width=“166”>",
add one of the “RemovedShelfState” nodes to the xml.
Remove Activities
<RemovedShelfState
id=“com.ibm.workplace.ae.client.views.AESideShelfView”
title=“Activities”/>
Remove Feeds
<RemovedShelfState id=“com.ibm.rcp.feedreader.notes.ui.shelf”
title=“Feeds”/>
