Disable SharePoint alert notifications when comment a file
In the email alerts we receive, in the bottom right of the email, there is a link that takes everyone to there personal alert settings. There is a setting for "Email notification when others comment on my documents." Toggle it off.
jameshickey1140 - Hi - we have started getting this, anytime a folder is moved, a load of people get notified, as far as I'm aware alerts weren't switched on and when I checked the site I couldn't see it set on. In the email received I can't see a setting to switch it off. Did you find out anything more about it?
Thanks

Hi, Yes, it was in the users personal OneDrive settings. The settings are all defaulted to alert on for me. Go to OneDrive on the web, then click the Gear Icon (top right) then click OneDrive Settings:
On the left under Notifications, you'll see all the different options for notifications. There are 7 in my options:
Hope this helps.

jameshickey1140 Hi -thanks for this - I've changed the setting and asked the user to do so aswell, hopefully this will do the trick!
Another place to look would be: In the document library that users are getting notified about, look for the Automate drop down. There is a manage rules option there. Maybe there is a rule set up in there. Source: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-rule-to-automate-a-list-or-library-151ea008-7fa6-409b-b0bd-b04a3b3cacd5
Good idea for an April Fools practical joke 😉
