      Can anyone tell me what this blue dot does and how to disable it?

      In some cases when I open the workspace it goes away, other times it stays there no matter what and it's kind of annoying.

        New content probably loaded in one or more tabs in the workspace and the dot is there to get your attention/notify you. If you go to the workspace and switch to every tab in it, the dot should go away.

        I don't think there's a way to turn it off unless turning off messenger notifications at the bottom of the sidebar settings works for workspaces too.

          @burnout426 Yeah going through every tab doesn't do anything, the blue dot remains.
          Also on some "workspaces" (most of them), my tabs look like this:

          So that solution is a no go 🤣

          I'll give the messenger notification a shot.

          Thanks.

              @aleksifa Workspaces exists exactly to avoid such scenario with several tabs opened in the same window, when the user has difficulties in closing tabs.
