Is there a way to disable the word “Preview” in unbaked shadows?
I take a lot of work in progress screenshots and I don’t like having to bake my lights every time.

You can disable the show flag in the viewport > show section. I don’t have the editor open in front of me at the moment, but I’m fairly certain it’s in there. If not, then check Project Settings > Rendering. It’s an option that can be toggled somewhere in the editor.
Yeah, it’s in Project Settings - General Settings - Default materials and clear the shadow material indicator!
THat didn’t work, the suggestion on that tick box said leave it enabled,so what now ?
Is there any feature I have set wrong that would cause this.
Also and ODDly, when I set lighting to medium , it doesnt seem to build lights, I see no swarm agent start…would might cause that also, which clearly is my issue,just putting that all out there .
thx

Well its fine now thoughI can’t imagine what’s going on, as I set quaity to Medium and thankfully now they are all gone as I was unable to effect any change short of that. I only have a i5-3570, gtx 950 2gb and 8gb ram with a ssd. I built lighting only as usual , yet after only 2 minutes it was done and the preview stuff was gone
It used to take forever to build lighting, was my lightmass volume whichis only on say 1/18the on one of my 4 tiles in my worldcomp project, the part that made this build go so quick ? Has something changed in 4.22 going > about how this is built to make it much faster ?
TY so much

Go to your lights, and make sure to change Mobility to “Movable!”

This worked for me. THANKS !!
On UE5 with lumen set directional Light to Movable
this was the fix for me! ty!
Thanks… Making the light source movable removed the “preview”. Such a simple fix.
Is there a fix like this in UE 5 when using a level sequence? I turned it of both in editor mode and in the Render Unbuilt Preview shadows in game, but it still shows in the movie render. Would I have to restart Unreal for the second setting?
I realized my lights were set to stationary, so after changing them to movable, the “preview” title was no longer found on shadows. Thanks for the tip, it worked!
I can’t believe someone thought making this the default was a good idea…
Turning it off in Show only removes ‘preview’ while working in the editor. The shadows appear in renders. How do we remove them?
I can’t produce cinematics with this issue, and disabling “Render Unbuilt Preview Shadows” in Project Settings affects the overall lighting.
