Hello,
While I like the idea of the feature show case, I would like to have the ability to not put unfinished features in it.
By unfinished I mean not translated to the user's language.
If the user's language is English then ok to show the untranslated new features. However if the user's language is not English, I would like to not premote features that non english speaking people won't understand.
If new features were translated faster than this wouldn't be an issue. But until this happens I will be disabeling the feature shocase section.
I like this idea 
In case anyone needs a short term workaround the following CSS can be added to a custom style to hide it:
#featureShowcaseSection {
display: none;
}

We are replacing this feature showcase with a more useful spotlight-like modal to guide users attentions to specific things. At first it'll be used to highlight new features/updates from cPanel but it's intended to become part of a guided tour through the UI.
...and the initial release of this spotlight will include the ability to disable it entirely (likely using feature manager or a touch file somewhere on disk) for those who don't want it. For the end-user, clicking anywhere dismisses the spotlight and it won't show again on future page-loads or future logins.
Here's what it looks like:

Thanks, we will disabled it at least until it's translated as this will very likley confuse non english speaking users.
The idea seems fun, but I would personaly only want it to start if a user requests it and not enable it on their first login (it would rapidly become a pain for users with multiple accounts who know how cpanel works.

We are a little behind on updating servers to v56, due to the Perl update in that version. Anyway, I just updated one box to v56 and am not really happy with the "Feature Showcase". Of all the things in cPanel, that is not THE THING that I want to push in people's faces. As others have mentioned, it's not at all obvious that one could "x" out of it to make it go away... further, for those that already have sites built, it could be very confusing that we are pushing them into opening this new feature.
Is there truly no way to make this go away, short of creating a custom template? And, if that is the only solution, are there any helpful souls out there to talk me through this?

I am sure this is not the best way... but as a quick stop-gap, I edited this file:
/usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/paper_lantern/styled/basic/styles.css
And put in the css that @timmmmyboy suggested:
#featureShowcaseSection {
display: none;
}
Boom, gone. For now.
