Would be great if we could truncate the above or hide it - it takes up so much space in a view where I’d want my team / users to be navigating to views rather than making them.
Yep! Totally agree! This is the #1 problem with Views right now. Please send your request — along with your screenshot — to support@airtable.com. They don’t really pay attention to these forums very much, so you will get your voice heard better if you send them an email.
