  • Everyone- Any reader will be able to leave a comment on the post. If they do not have a Substack profile, they'll be prompted to create one.
  • Paid subscribers only- Only paid subscribers to your publication can leave a comment on the post.
  • No one- Comments will be disabled for the post.

Tip: If you'd like to lock your post to prevent readers from leaving new comments, head back to your post settings and select "Allow comments from no one (disable comments)."
