Using documentTypeList without create button at top of pane in Sanity.io

Hello everyone, it's User! I was wondering if there's a way to use a 
documentTypeList
without having the create button action at the top of the pane. Unfortunately, using a static list doesn't work for us because it removes the search and ordering features that we need to keep in the pane. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure but this maybe works using templates filter in your config.
export default defineConfig({
  // ... other configs
  schema: [
    types: [
      // ... your types
    ],
    templates: (prev) => prev.filter((template) => !['product'].includes(template.id)),
  ]
})

Hey User! I really appreciate your response, but unfortunately, the snippet didn't work this time. I'm still seeing the create button at the top of the pane.

Oh no! and your document name is 'product'? I gave it a shot anyway 🙂

Yes, the name is "product" 🙂What version of Sanity are you currently in? I'm using the 
3.11.1

Alright, I'm using 
3.16.7

Ah! So let me check if your snippet works by updating the studio 👍

Cool! I'm no Sanity expert. Just trying to learn. But it worked when I tried.

Sure, no problem. Thanks for sharing the code snippet and supporting.

Hey there! I just wanted to let you know that I had initially placed the code snippet you shared with me in the wrong spot. But thanks to you, the issue is now solved! 😄By any chance, when you get a moment, could you please share the documentation you used to find that snippet? I'm really eager to learn more about it.
Hope you have a fantastic day!

Haha fantastic! Well it's kind a random. I'm using the Document Internationalization plugin for Sanity and in the bottom of the readme there is a link called "Remove default new document template" and while testing it out I got the result you were looking for.
