Hi I'm using a number of buttons to trigger excel online scripts in a shared workbook. But, I don't want the users to keep seeing the scripting pane popup every time they click a button. ...

MicrosoftThanks all for your feedback! I wanted to share some updates on our end - since last year we've moved from showing the run status in a pane to a status bar at the top of your Excel workbooks. This change has been made fully available to customers using web versions of Excel, and we're working to make it available in desktop now as well.

Hi - I'm sure the notification is less intrusive than before, but it's still there in bright yellow awaiting someone to tell it to go away. It would be great if either...
a) it was as the previous user suggested and the status simply showed in the very bottom bar where averages, sums, etc show when you select cells or...
b) it automatically disappeared a very short time after successful completion or...
c) you had a preference option to not show it at all
The biggest issue is that if you want your screen clean, you have to actively dismiss the notification.
Thanks!
- I haven't used scripts until now. The Script Run Status has immediately struck me as an issue for developing an excel based user tool. There needs to be an option to prevent this window from opening up! I'm using a script to move to a different sheet and hide the previous one (like a hyperlink but added functionality. But the Script Run Status panel opening ruins the effect.
