I create a simple file and I was trying to automate some processes and I notice that every time I click on the Script button it shows me a popup on the right side that says script run status, its annoying to see that everytime I click on the button. How do I desable that?

    Please can you create an option to disable the yellow status bar at the top of the worksheet when running office scripts code. it really is an eyesore and detracts from otherwise brilliant feature. This doesn't happen when running vba macros and I would like to be able to achieve the same behaviour.

    I do apologize if there is already a way to do this. I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

    yes me too, please just give us an "off" switch. We do not want ANY of the status information.

    Do like the scripts idea, but cannot use it with this break in our workflow and attention.

    "There! I fixed it!" (old school way)

    Instead of using the shortcuts provided in the Automation section of the ribbon...

    1. Go to the Developer section (you may need to display it first):M1
    2. Code a macro yourself:
      M2
    3. Back in your worksheet, insert a button (it won't show until you draw your button area somewhere on the sheet):
      M3
    4. Select your macro to associate it with it:M4
    5. You're done with all the "let's make it easier for you" nonsense.

    Macros are so fast and easy. I understand the security concern, and welcome a more secure solution, but can we really not just make it run quickly and silently like macros do?

    I'm wanting to transition, but the slowness and the status bar are seriously killing me.

    When will this be improved?
