If you're unsure about your permissions, reach out to your platform admins or our team at [support@haystackteam.com](mailto: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. 1. Click the **account dropdown** in the top right corner of your screen and select **Admin Console**. 2. In the left-hand navigation menu, click **Security Settings**. 3. Scroll down and toggle **ON** the **Disable Comments** or **Disable Reactions** switches as needed for each content type (Posts, Pages, Events). 4. 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.** ![CleanShot 2024-03-05 at 17-33-22@2x-png](https://support.haystackteam.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202024-03-05%20at%2017-33-22@2x-png.png?width=670&height=363&name=CleanShot%202024-03-05%20at%2017-33-22@2x-png.png) And there you have it! You've successfully tailored the user experience! **Enjoy your newly focused, globally managed content environment.** --- **Keywords:** Haystack, comments, emoji reactions, disabling, read-only, global control, security settings, Admin Console, content management, workspace admin. -
