Confluence 5.8.5 Remove First Time "Welcome.action" Wizard Page

Question

In Confluence 5.8.5 when a user logs in for the first time, he is presented with Welcome.action Wizard page instead of Dashboard.action.

I want to remove asking Welcome.action Wizard page and directly navigate user to Dashboard page like it used to be on previous confluence versions.

Please follow below steps:

To disable the welcome message for all users, complete the following steps to disable the Onboarding Filter: 
Go to Manage Add-ons.
Choose System from the drop-down menu.
Search for "onboarding".
Expand all modules.
Disable the Onboarding Filter.
After disabling, new users won't be redirected to the /welcome.action page the first time they log into Confluence, instead, they will be redirected to the Confluence Dashboard

As Thiago clarified, the block code that you will need to remove under Confluence Admin > Layouts > Global Layout will be:

$action.welcomeMessage
