How to remove author name from the top of site pages in sharepoint online modern communications site

I have created a few site pages, but all of them have the author's name at the top, below the page title. I don't want the author's name to be present. Is there a way to remove the author's name either on some of the pages or all the pages on a site?

Hi @ganeshsanap,

Is there any option to remove author placeholder while editing. we don't want to provide a option to users to select the author.

Thanks in advance

@DJoshi2302 Unfortunately, No.

You cannot remove the author placeholder as it is a SharePoint default option. You will have to train/guide your users to keep the author option blank while publishing the pages.
