Alerts on Comments in Modern Pages?

I have experienced the same behavior.  Here's a great post that shows how to get them using an API call:

https://www.eliostruyf.com/getting-likes-and-comments-from-modern-pages/

It seems like MS have changed their Comment behavior, at least on Communication sites. I can find OLD comments but when I add new comments, they doesn't show up in the Comments.30017244-8B12-4607-9D41-89A859BD352D list

Thanks Egor Tsvetkov back to the drawing board for trapping Comments.

Bad news, unfortunately. I created a new O365 trial subscription with latest releases and checked Comments list for Communication and Teams sites (private and public). Everywhere result is the same: no Comments list in SharePoint Designer, Client browser, Graph API or Native SharePoint REST API.

I checked on the customer's tenants: comments list available because target release was not applied.

Looks like, hidden Comments data source is a new feature from MS.

Any News ?  I have created a Teams Site (via the App) and still no comments list (I have created a comment)

Thanks Egor Tsvetkov

Hi Nigel,

My solution is written for teams site. I try to repeat it for Communication site and notify you when having some results. 

Hi All

I have now tried trying to find the Comments list on two different tenancies  and 6 different site collections including Communications sites and Team sites.  All have got one or more comments on a site page.  In every case I can use REST calls to find the comments (see my other posts for details).  In each case I am the global administrator and the site collection administrator and the site owner.  I am running out of ideas on how to see the Comments list. @VesaJuvonen can you help here ?

Any ideas on what property I have to modify to get the Comments List to appear would be very gratefully received.

Thanks for your help in advance

Nigel

Hi Meg Simmons

I downloaded the SPC and ran it against two of my sites which have got comments and this is what I got :-

No comments field !

I am beginning to wonder if I have a different version of SharePoint Online !

Nigel_Price9911,

I had similar issues at first.  But, if you look back in this thread Daniel Staps posted a comment on 11-22-2017 that, if followed step-by-step will absolutely work.  Use SharePoint Client Browser found here: https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=spcb and refer to his screenshots.

I was able to get this working with Flow after following Daniel's instructions.

Hi Egor Tsvetkov

I have now tried with a second Communications Site.  Same result no Comments list.

I have created a new Communications site, created a page on it and added a comment to the page.  Same result no comments list.

I have also tried opening SharePoint Designer as an administrator - same result.

Where did you search this list in SharePoint Designer?

It should be under "All Files":

Hi Egor Tsvetkov

I have two comments on the home page and I can access them via a REST -> 

Hi Daniel Staps

What tool did you use to get this list of lists (Specifically the Comments list).  I have tried and failed to find this list using SharePoint Designer, REST calls and CSOM.  I am the global administrator for the tenant I am using so I should be able to see all lists.

The Comments are stored in a list as you can see here 

It´s a screenshot of the lists in a SharePoint Communication Site. As the comments are stored in a list, I was able to setup a alert flow in new comments.
