Turn reactions on or off

You can turn reactions on or off for articles, events, and wikis to promote or deter social engagement with the content. For instance, it may be preferable to turn reactions off on evergreen content, such as policies stored in wikis.

Considerations

  • Turning reactions back on: When reactions are turned off, they are retained. When turned back on, they are restored, and you can add more reactions.

Who can do this?

  • Workplace administrators
  • Site administrators 
  • Creators
