Quick solution:
in <em>{share_path}/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-data/template-instances/document-details.xml</em> remove section


      <!– Document Workflows –>
      <component>
         <region-id>document-workflows</region-id>
         <url>/components/document-details/document-workflows</url>
         <properties>
            <nodeRef>{nodeRef}</nodeRef>
         </properties>
      </component>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But I'd recommend you to read about Spring Surf components, relations between pages, templates, components and scopes and implement your custom document-details page

There is a very good blog item on using extensibility to add and remove panels from the document details display by Eric Winlof at http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/ewinlof/2011/11/09/add-remove-or-replace-components-on-shares-document-details-page/. Use this. Don't start editing the standard files it may well work but it may also have unintended consequences and be hard to back uot.

Below is a copy of my extension which removes some panels from the document details page.

This goes in /alfresco/web-extension/site-data/extensions although I deliver it in a jar along with some other extensions

Thank you! But I think it is not so good, too…Because what you say is truth.

hello,

I know this is a old thread. But I would like to understand if these kind of configuration can be set for different users/groups. For instance, if I want to remove those panels for everyone except admins, what can I do?

thank you!

You can use the mechanisms described here http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/tasks/dev-extensions-share-tutorials-subcomponent-evals.html and the surrounding pages to define evaluators that determine in what conditions the configuration should apply
