No option to turn off comments on modern pages in Team Sites
Thanks for letting us know! Getting on this now. You should be able to turn comments off on a page that is set as the home page. Working on this!
This is still a bug on our homepage. When will this issue be resolved?

Hi all - upon further inspection 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. For now, there will never be comments on the home page.
Would love your feedback here! What is your desired behavior? Is there a desire for comments on the home page of a site?

Hi, Alyssa Danesh.
Is it possible to disable Comments on Site Pages for a specific site collection with Modern Pages?
I've ran into an issue that having this available adds another authentication prompt for guest users when Comments are enabled at the tenant level settings.

I would love a way to turn comments off for all pages. It appears now it is only a page by page action.

I don´t know why but my post disappeared...
Hi Allyssa,
I think you are missing the point.
The problem happens when adding a modern page with layout Article as a home page.
The comment field appears and there is no way to remove it.
If you use a Home layout page as a Home page it works fine (there is no comment field).

Hi Alyssa,
I think you are missing the point.
There are two modern page layouts.
The home and the article.
In a normal SharePoint team site the default page is not a modern one. But we can create new modern pages and they are created as Article pages (ou group sites the home page has a Home layout).
The issue is that when we set article modern page to the site home page the insert new comment appears.
And we cant turn it off because the button to make this change is gone.
I send you the Article page in attach. Has you can see it has a photo place.
The home layout doesn't have that photo.
Can you check?
thanks
