According to this [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/document-data.html), one can view the data either as a table or prettified-json. How do I hide the prettified JSON viewer?
Also, is there a way I can disable View surrounding documents and View Single Document link?
Thanks.

Only allowing your users to use [Dashboard-only mode](https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-dashboard-only-mode) is an option, as users would then only be able to see dashboards, but not change anything or define their own searches. If you have any saved searches on the dashboard, they'd be able to see document information there, but they wouldn't be able to access Discover at all.
