Turn OOTB Comment Section From SharePoint Online Modern Page On or Off

The comments section is an important part of any webpage. It appears in all the modern pages by default. However, we can easily turn this feature on or off using the below simple steps.

Step1
Edit the page.

Step 2
The page owner can see the "Turn on or off" option parallel to the comment section.

Step 3
Select the Turn Off toggle.

Step 4
Publish the page and you will not see any comment section.

Happy Coding.

Remove Header Image Banner From SharePoint Modern Pages

SharePoint Online Modern pages have header image banners in all modern pages;  i.e., Communication or Team Sites. Header image banner needs a background image or text, it takes almost 40% of the page, and we can’t remove this section using User Interface.

If you want to turn this section ON or OFF, it is possible using PnP PowerShell command. Basically, it allows us to change the page layout from Article to Home. The homepage layout doesn’t have a header image banner section.

Remove the Header Image Banner Section

Open SharePoint Online Management Shell and run the below command in sequence.

1. # Connect to the site  
2. Connect-PnPOnline https://mittal1201.sharepoint.com/sites/teamsite  
3. # List all pages, and find the id of the modern page  
4. Get-PnPListItem -List SitePages  
5. # Change layout from "Article" to "Home" to remove top banner  
6. Set-PnPListItem -List SitePages –Identity <id> -Values @{"PageLayoutType"="Home"} 

Screenshot for your reference.

After executing this command, refresh the page. You will not find the header image banner.

Happy Coding.
