How to remove widgets from a notebook dashboard?

[fijoy]

I'm creating a dashboard from the output of a notebook cell, but noticing that the dashboard displays the the widgets of the notebook in addition to the cell output. How can I remove the widgets from the dashboard?

@Fijoy Vadakkumpadan​ you can use dbutils.widget.remove("widget-name") to reove mwidget

Yes, but that removes the widget from the notebook also. What I want to do is remove it from dashboard but not the notebook whose cell output was added to the dashboard.

The dashboard will be shared with an audience that does not understand all the widgets in my notebook, so I don't want the widgets to be displayed in the dash.

I think this is an issue for the engineering team to consider. I'll put in a request.

dbutils.widgets.remove("widget-name")  (don't forget the s in widgets)

Did you find any solution for this? I am facing a similar issue wanting to create multiple dashboads on a single notebook where not all widgets are relevant for both dashboards. this makes it difficult for users to understand the dahsboard.
