How this will affect your organization
advertisment
Admins can already turn off or turn on comments for their entire organization in the admin center. This new setting allows a finer-grained control for organizations that want to disallow commenting on specific lists. If an admin had previously turned off commenting for the entire organization, they can now turn on commenting for the organization and then turn off commenting for specific lists. The experience when comments are turned off for a list is similar to when comments are turned off for the organization in the admin center. The experience when a user turns off comments is as follows:
When a user chooses to turn the comments back on, the feature will work the same way as before it was turned off. To turn off comments for a list: Select List settings
View image in new tab
> then Advanced settings > under Allow comments on list items, select No. Then scroll to the bottom of the Advanced settings page and select OK to save changes.
The comment entry points will be hidden, and the comments textbox will be disabled.
