   Hi everyone, we appreciate all the feedback you've shared.

   We'd like to share some changes that have been made since our last update;

   • The Demo Company now appears as its own item, separate from the Recent organisations list.
   • Separately your recent organisations section can be collapsed, which we understand is helpful for users when sharing their screen.
   • There's also now a banner that clearly identifies when you’re in the Demo Company, to help avoid scenarios of entering real organisation data in the wrong place.

   We recognise there’s continued interest in being able to hide this option completely. While our product team is aware of this appetite and will continue to consider it in future planning, we want to be transparent here that there are no plans to develop a hide or remove setting in the near term.

   We hope these changes make the experience clearer and help reduce accidental access.

   If there are any further plans made to address feedback raised here we'll be sure to share an update.

   I get that the Demo Company has value even after you set up your org, but please let us get it out of the main dropdown menu. Put it in the help menu or let us toggle its visibility in settings.

   Accidentally clicking it instead of settings is likely, and since it brings up a bunch of dummy data it isn't just confusing it's potentially panic-inducing (and certainly time-wasting) for users who don't realize they've entered a pretend fantasy land from *inside of their accounting software*.

   This is not just a UX request, it is a most basic duty of this kind of tool to *only* ever show accurate information.
