# Disable Community and discussions

The Community tab and the discussions are the only places that learners can see other participants who are taking the same Cohort alongside them.

If for any reason you need to disable the Community and discussion features, you can adjust this for just an individual Cohorts or for all Cohorts in a learning Path.

## To disable discussions Path-wide

To turn off discussions for all Cohorts, select the **more actions (...)** at the top of the Path. Go to **Configure Path** > **Manage Cohorts** and toggle **Community Features** to the off position. This will hide ALL discussion and the entire Community tab from learners and staff for all Cohorts taking this Course.
