As a title, how to disable the Suggestions bar in Kibana Lens? I'm working on huge sets of data and the suggestion bar is slowing down the process. Is there a way to disable it?

Hi @nastymajestic ,

welcome back to the Kibana community.  
There are some issues you can track for the progress of hiding the suggestion panel: [[Lens] Omit "over time" suggestion for expensive configurations · Issue #112229 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/112229) (the expensive one) and [[Lens] Allow users to not render suggestions · Issue #85518 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/85518) (general panel hiding).

Meanwhile the one workaround I can propose, if you're on 7.14 or newer version of Kibana, is to use the new `Formula` feature in fullscreen. This setup provides a different editor layout which hides the suggestion panel while editing.

This implies you're limited to Formula text-based configuration.
