is there a way to disable these notifications without resorting to a CSS hack? i would prefer not to have the excess visual noise.
.notification.read.upcoming-change-available,
.notification.unread.upcoming-change-available {
display: none;
}
But wouldn’t that still show a notification count/indicator? But I guess that can’t be helped.
not any more 
note: can select to dismiss notifications for either new features or upcoming changes, or both.
This has tripped me up a few times, and I do not see it mentioned above as a concern/problem.
I am not in the habit of checking Upcoming changes by clicking the menu option on the left:
https://xyz.discourse.group/admin/config/upcoming-changes
That page includes a Preview link for each change.
Normally, as part of my daily routine, I check the Discourse inbox and sometimes find a notification about upcoming changes, for example:
https://xyz.discourse.group/admin/config/upcoming-changes?changeNamesFilter=enable_ai_bot_starred_conversations
Notice the change in the URL, and also that the Preview link is missing.
That missing Preview link is what has been tripping me up for a few days. I knew the link existed, but thought it had disappeared.
Hopefully this provides enough detail to understand the concern and possibly fix it.
Both the “Feedback…” and “Preview” links are optional for the upcoming change items:
It’s up to whichever developer who adds the upcoming change to specify these…I’ll ping some people internally and see if I can get them to add them.
