Enable comments/converstations on files in SharePoint
Hello,
I would like help enabling a feature that allows comments to be added to files within the Properties form, or the details pane of a file.
On list items in the same site, I have the ability to create conversations through these icons:
But for the document libraries, this does not appear to be an option?
While looking into how to enable this, I did find a post showing it working as expected -> https://sharepointmaven.com/6-ways-to-add-comments-to-documents-in-sharepoint/#Option%201:%20Comments%20Within%20MS%20Office%20Desktop%20Applications
So I am just wonder what is different with my document library and where I should look to enable. I am the SP admin for the company, so I should be able to change any settings necessary.

Comments is native for Office files, so i think the comment option in the property panels only appear for non-office client. Put something else than an office document and check, the comment will appear in the property panels.
