+Note, this doesn't completely disable favourites, it just makes them turned off by default, and a user can turn them back on in Preferences.
+Second note, if you are testing this you may need to use a private browser window. Greenstone stores your settings between sessions and if it has stored the favourites being on, then this changing this setting in the library won't affect your current stored session.
 ===== Disable Favourites for one collection =====
-If you would like to turn off favourites just for one collection, you can add a custom gslib.xsl into the collection's transform folder. Use the Files tab in GLI to do this, or locate the collection at web/sites/localsite/collect/<collname>. You may need to create the transform folder if the collection doesn't already have one.
