Operating system: Windows 7  
Slicer version: 4.9.0

When I load a series, the series name is displayed in the lower-left corner of any display window. Example: “B: head\_ct”. How do I hide this display? Have combed through keyboard shortcuts, preferences, and extensions and cannot find a way to hide it.

This is an issue when taking screenshots as the label is present in the screen capture also.

You can configure slice view annotations in `DataProbe` module.

It is difficult to find, so we’ll probably find a better place for it in Slicer5.

Hi Andras,

Is there a simple way to do this programmatically?

You can disable slice view annotations as shown in the [example in script repository](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/ScriptRepository#Hide_slice_view_annotations_.28DataProbe.29).

It took me some time to find it in the GUI… in case anyone is also searching for this option, please see attached a screenshot of Slicer 5.3 about the option (Quantification-\>DataProbe and there are checkboxes in the Corner Text Annotation section) :
