We do have a business plan, we only need to hide the back button on the Honeywell ScanPal EDA52 devices as those are the ones we are giving our customers. Any help would be much appreciated

You can use this for your CSS if you have access to it.

```auto
button[data-testid="menu-left-button"] {
display: none;
}

```

Does this still work when the app isn’t classic? We recently upgraded, I saw this code went looking through I think you’ve posted it before. It didn’t work.

Can you try to see if it works? It’s working in the builder for me. I have no idea if the ScanPal device would react the same way.

Nvm it worked, hahha this would have been amazing before building out a whole other screen etc. Note to self, try everything 3 times (: it definitely didn’t work the first two.
