    Admin_Tommy_Gustafsson Are you asking about site page comments or SharePoint list/library comments?

     

    You can enable/disable list comments at tenant level or list level, check:

    1. How to Enable/Disable the commenting in SharePoint Online/Microsoft Lists - tenant level
    2. Enable/Disable the comments for a SharePoint Online/Microsoft List - list level

      ganeshsanap I am talking about for example the comments on the bottom of a news page 

      we have disable comments on tenant level. 

      I hope that i could enable it only on a few news sites instead of enable it for the hole Tenant and then disable it site by site

        That's only possible via PowerShell, check my script above. It should disable it for all sites that you've got already. 🙂

        Yeah Juan you're probably right! :smile:

        If it's site pages, then he needs to enable it in Admin center as if it's disabled in admin-center then changing the properties in SharePoint using Powershell  won't work:

         

        After changing the setting in the admin-center he can run this :smile: :

         

         

         

        Connect-PnPOnline -url "" -Interactive

#Get all site collections 
$allSites = Get-PnPTenantSite

Foreach($site in $AllSites)
{
//this will disable for all sites
Set-PnPSite  -Identity $site -CommentsOnSitePagesDisabled $True
}


//this will enable comments for all specific sites:
Set-PnPSite  -Identity $site -CommentsOnSitePagesDisabled $False


//for a specific page
Set-PnPClientSidePage -Identity “Home Page” -CommentsEnabled:$false
