Reset Hidden Dialogs Button

There are warning messages in various parts of the entrée system which provide a "Do not show this again" option box. If you check this option box then you will turn off that warning message.

 

Click the Reset Hidden Dialogs button to reset all those check boxes so that you see the messages again.

 

The warnings are suppressed on a “per user” basis, hence the reason the Reset Hidden Dialogs button is in the personal settings section of system preferences.
