Answers.Text: Thanks Aaron, that would do the job. It could be quite nice to have this as an option on the matrix field itself though. In some cases a string preview just isn't applicable.

Body: <p>Is it possible to hide the preview shown by default when Matrix blocks are collapsed?</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>You can collapse Matrix blocks by clicking the “Collapse” menu option,
    or by double-clicking on a block’s title bar. When a block is
    collapsed, its title bar will show a preview of its content, so you
    can still identify which block it is.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>It's useful to just be able to see the content outline made up by block types clear and simple. A lot of the time in my case the preview is irrelevant so it would be great to turn this off across the board by default.</p>

  There is no out-of-the-box way to do this, but you can make use of a plugin like [Lindsey Diloreto's CPCSS](https://github.com/lindseydiloreto/craft-cpcss) to set `display: none` on the `body.ltr .matrixblock > .titlebar > .preview` class.
