![Issue: Hide The Recent Heading
Solution:
1. Make a copy of the default master page.
2. Add a reference in your Master Page to the most recent
jQuery.min.js.
3. Next, search for the tag in your master page. Inside that
tag, place this bit of code:
$(document).ready(function() { var recentLi=
$("#ctl00_PlaceHolderLeftNavBar_QuickLaunchNavigationM
anager div ul li").filter(function(index) { return $("span span",
this)[0].innerText == "Recent"; }); if (recentLi != undefined) {
recentLi.hide(); } });](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/techfestintrotipstrickslessonslearned-131013175334-phpapp02/85/Tulsa-Tech-Fest-SharePoint-2013-Lessons-Learned-13-320.jpg)
