There has been a new update that allows users to create Features and/or Epics from the My work area. If Epics are not enabled for our account, users should not have the ability to create an Epic in this area (and they currently can). If we could update this area, (or if it was automatic based on account settings) we could remove the Epics to ensure they are not accidently created.
this makes sense my only concern is to ensure it does not disappear for users who should see it
