Disabling Comments and Reactions Globally 🔇

Instantly convert your entire workspace into a focused, read-only content hub by globally toggling off comments and emoji reactions for all posts, pages, and events!

📣 Only users with Workspace Admin permissions can globally disable comments and emoji reactions in your workspace. If you're unsure about your permissions, reach out to your platform admins or our team at support@haystackteam.com.

About Comments and Emoji Reactions: The Read-Only Context

By default, comments and emoji reactions are enabled on all posts, pages, and events, fostering engagement. If, however, you need to create a more formal, read-only experience—perhaps directing feedback to a help desk—you can disable these social features globally.

📌 If you'd only like to disable comments and/or emoji reactions on specific posts, pages, or events—instead of globally—you can do this too! Learn more about these settings in our articles about creating posts, pages, and events.

Disabling Comments and Emoji Reactions (For Workspace Admins)

This setting applies to all posts, pages, and events in your workspace.

Click the account dropdown in the top right corner of your screen and select Admin Console.
In the left-hand navigation menu, click Security Settings.
Scroll down and toggle ON the Disable Comments or Disable Reactions switches as needed for each content type (Posts, Pages, Events).
Click Save at the bottom of the page.

Once turned on, users will no longer be able to add new social interactions. If there are existing comments or emoji reactions on your content, they will be hidden from the interface.

And there you have it! You've successfully tailored the user experience! Enjoy your newly focused, globally managed content environment.
