Are we talking about hiding them for a form of archiving - not gone but bidding in everyday use? If you are using Kibana basic, you can create a separate space for this and copy the dashboards you want to archive over in the saved object management: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-saved-objects.html#managing-saved-objects-copy-to-space](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-saved-objects.html#managing-saved-objects-copy-to-space)

If this is about not providing immediate access to the se dashboards for all users I would also recommend a separate space with restricted access rights.

You can hide dev tools with feature controls as described here [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-role-management.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-role-management.html)

Currently it's not possible to hide the management app, the feature request is tracked here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/35040](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/35040)
