Turn off comments in SharePoint library

The comments are showing by default via edit properties in the SharePoint doc lib, is there a way to turn it off?

(comment setting in list)

    Why is this an Issue?

     

    I've just come across the same problem, Where I've used PowerApps to customise the form on a Library and when you display the "Properties" the PowerApps form appears as expected, BUT it has the Comments Pane automatically displayed.  Why would I want to comment on a custom form?

     

    Checking the Library Settings -> Advanced Settings and there is NO way to hide comments for some reason :/

    Lists do have this option, Libraries do not.

  • LP4415890​ Turning Comment off here will just disable the ability for users to add new comments, but won't hide the Comments panel, and no option that I know of to hide it unfortunately. Once you set it to No, the Comments pane should at least be collapsed from what I've seen.
