Enabling the Ratings feature in SharePoint Communication sites

The ratings feature in SharePoint allows users to rate and provide feedback on list items, enhancing collaboration and decision-making within teams. While this feature is available by default in SharePoint Team sites, it is not enabled by default in Communication sites. However, if you wish to utilize the ratings feature in a list of a Communication site, you can enable it using PowerShell.

In this article, I’m showing you how to enable the ratings feature in Communication sites using PnP PowerShell.

    Install-Module -Name SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline -Force
