b. I am surprised with this instruction. (so I decided take a call at the end)
c . So in Demo, after looking at the DDD Audit, it is pretty clear that there are no changes to the database as DDD Audit is very clean.

e. Need to decide what to do with it.

New Features - 8.51
11. Remove links like Signout.
_____________________________________________________________
1) Log in to application designer and open the html object PT_IFRAME_HDR
.
In PT_IFRAME_HDR, comment out the following line-
- %bind(:18)
2) Log in to application designer and open the html object PT_IFRAME_HDR_SWAN
In PT_IFRAME_HDR_SWAN, comment out the following line-
- %bind(:17)
This will not generate any header links.
3) There is another way you can disable only the "Sign out" link although It has not been tested thoroughly and not sure about its implications.
a) Open the peoplecode at PT_BRANDING.BrandingBase.OnExecute (note that PT_BRANDING is an application package).
Here comment out the following lines-
&signOutLink = &hdrLink.GetLogoutURL();
&hdrLinkHTML = %This.setIframeHdrLinkHTML(&hdrLinkHTML, &signOutLink, "");
This will not generate the "Sign out" link.
