PeopleTools 8.59 Notification Panel

The delivered PeopleTools 8.59 home page has a notification panel on the right. This is great if your organization wants a large notification panel on their home page.
... But how do you remove it if they don't want it?

Thank you for this! We are trying to customize the initial home page for our users as well.. do you know of a way to remove the 'favorites' and 'recently visited' buttons that appear in the top header as well? I'm guessing it might have something to do with the branding, but I'm not seeing an easy way to just take them off.

It's not a preference to remove them like the notifications. But you can remove them from the NAVBAR fluid home page. Just go there in PeopleTools > Portal > Structure and Content and navigate to the NAVBAR fluid home page. On the Tiles Tab, uncheck the Favorites and Recents tiles.
