Can I disable or hide the heading of an admin page for a custom app on Confluence?

I have a custom app in which I've added an admin webSection called "Test app". This is a snippet from my atlassian-connect.json file:

"webSections": [
      {
        "location": "system.admin",
        "name": {
          "value": "Test app"
        },
        "key": "test-app",
      },
    ]
"modules": {
    "adminPages": [
      {
        "key": "test-app",
        "name": {
          "value": "Browse"
        },
        "location": "system.admin/test-app"
      }
]
}


Is there any way I can disable or hide the heading shown at the top of the page? 

The Jira equivalent of this is admin_plugins_menu and if you use that, it does not display the heading for every page. That's what I need.

I've found a solution for this. There is a fullPage property that you can set to true for every page inside adminPages inside atlassian-connect.json. If this is set to true, it hides the page heading. e.g:

"modules": {
    "adminPages": [
      {
        "key": "test-app",
        "name": {
          "value": "Browse"
        },
"fullPage": true, "location": "system.admin/test-app" }
]
}

@Jaimish Ashar I haven't deployed a Connect app in a long time but maybe try using empty double-quotes or empty quotes with a space instead of "Browse", e.g.

"modules": {
    "adminPages": [
      {
        "key": "test-app",
        "name": {
          "value": ""
        },
        "location": "system.admin/test-app"
      }
]
}

 
FYI, I wouldn't really recommend creting a Connect app since Atlassian is deprecating it. Would recommend Forge instead.

Thank you for your response! I have tried this and it works but it also hides the name on the left nav which isn't helpful. I am also aware about Connect being deprecated but this is part of a larger product which runs on Connect.
