Lost the ability to edit my Kiosk dashboard on my PC

Configuration Frontend
1

I run HA on a Raspberry Pi 4, off an SSD. No issues with updating, controlling devices, etc. Some months ago I wanted to have a tablet displaying a subset of values in our kitchen, so I got a cheap Lenovo Android tablet. I configured a dashboard for that device that I named “Kiosk”, and it runs fine. I haven’t touched the dashboard configuration for several months.
Yesterday I decided I wanted to make some changes to the Kiosk dashboard, so I went to edit it on my PC. I don’t see the little “pencil” icon, or indeed any icons, in the upper RH corner of the Kiosk dashboard on my PC. I can’t remember when I last saw them - indeed, if ever!
Anyone have any ideas how I managed to get myself into this hole? Clearly I’m missing something very trivial, but I can’t seem to find it. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

(And yes, you may denigrate my brainpower or abilities if you wish. Doubtless deserved.)

You might be using something like the Kiosk mode module to hide those things.

If you didn’t setup a way for an admin account to not do kiosk mode on that dashboard, that might be your issue. If that’s the case, you can add ?disable_km to the end of the dashboard URL to disable Kiosk Mode. Then you could add some options in there that would let an admin account see the dashboard in regular mode and other user accounts see the dashboard in kiosk mode.

If it’s not that, then I’m not sure what you did. :wink:

As Kyle says, most likely some customization to hide the header.
Do you also have no sidebar?

Another way of hiding those can be browser_mod

I think you hit on it, Kyle. I added the “disable” text to the URL and was able to edit the dashboard. Thanks a lot!
