You can disable comments on individual articles as necessary. When you do so, the article indicates that it is closed for comments at the bottom of the article.
If you need to disable comments for multiple articles at once, see Updating knowledge base articles in bulk or use the Help center API (Update Article).
Tip: If you want to hide existing article comments, see Hiding article comments using
Curlybars.
To disable comments for an individual article
- Navigate to the article, then click Edit article in the top menu
bar.
- (For Guide Enterprise only) Click Article settings.
- Deselect Open for Comments in the article's sidebar.
- Click Save.

@... - Just curious, is there a realistic way to disable ALL comments via a simple setting for HIPAA conscious customers? It seems silly that your reply was from 3 years ago and this still hasn't been baked into the interface by your product team.
Hi Jay-
There’s no setting to disable all comments, but you can bulk update your articles or remove the code of the article comments on your theme.
We have articles that are in multiple languages. Is there a way to open an article up for comments but ONLY the english article?
Hi there Trevon,
You can disable comments for articles in different languages. You can first filter the language you wish to disable comments for. For more information on the single or bulk updates, please see Disable Comments for Articles.
I hope this answers your query. Please let me know if you have further clarification, and I'll be happy to check it for you.
Cheers,
Blanca
