No option to turn off comments on modern pages in Team Sites

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 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

This is incorrect.

My homepage by default has comments enabled and are visible, however I want to DISABLE it and remove them completely.

The problem I have is that my site is now live so I can't even attempt to set a different home page, switch off comments, re-publish etc.
