Yes, that is by design the thinking being that home pages typically do not have comments. Comments are not lost, if that page is not longer set to the home page the comments will reappear. 

 

Would love your feedback here! What is your desired behavior? Is there a desire for comments on the home page of a site?

 

Thanks!

    Sorry, I cannot agree with the opinion that "home pages typically do not have comments", I sometimes do like to comment on a home page...e.g. well-organised and clean home page, I like it.

     

    I'd strongly suggest to give SharePoint admin the ability to switch the comments on and off, rather than hard-coding it by checking whether it is home page...

    So, if possible, could you please give that switch back to us on home page ASAP, as I'm currently have clients waiting for that feature, thanks.

     

    Regards,
    William

    Hi Alyssa,

     

    Thank you for the clarification. The key word in your answer is "typically".  In some scenarios that could be desirable to have comments on home page. But only in some.

     

    From my point of view perfect solution if we have an option to switch on/off comments on home page.
