D&D Compendium - monster actions reveal too much

D&D compendium (and on purchased modules).  The clickable actions on monsters are nice, but they reveal the full text of the action to players, not just the rolls.  Any possibly hidden/unique/unknown effects are spelled out right in chat.   Is there any way to turn this off?  Sometimes it reveals more than would be had I as DM just described the attack.  Especially on a miss, the text will show how bad it might have been, or some odd side effect, that would otherwise have been unknown to the players.
A simple fix would be to just set the monsters to whisper rolls to the GM rather than to have public rolls.
Yes, that will work!  I didn't even know that option was available.  Thank you very much!

Hello, just adding that you can set whisper to gm in game (you have to apply the change for every monster you need) or you can change it out the game in the page settings of the game (it will be set for every new monster you add... then you can also change it for existing monsters by applying default settings in the game)

Also, if there is a particular attack that you don't want the text to appear, you can click the Gear icon that appears when you hover over the attack, and then change the setting for Description: Show to Hide . This will only roll the attack portion but not display any of the text in the description box.
Those are all great options, thanks for adding your responses!
