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

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.

      You can turn off completely in SharePoint Admin Centre

        Thanks Warwick, I looked in the Modern SharePoint Admin Centre and could not find the option.  Where is it?
