disable comments sidebar -PDF Embed API

I want to disable comments in sidebar

Setting showAnnotationTools: false solves it but it disables PDF annotations altogether, I need a way to disable the comments sidebar only. 
is there a way to do this?

    Looking at the docs in regards to customization (https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/docs/overview/pdf-embed-api/howtos_ui/), I don't believe so, but you should check the doc there to be sure.

      @Raymond Camden I checked and tried this code but it doesn't work 
      const customFlags = {
      showToolbar: true,
      showCommentsPanel: false,
      showToolsOnTextSelection: false,
      downloadWithAnnotations: false,
      printWithAnnotations: false
      }

      adobeDCView.previewFile({
      metaData:{fileName: "Bodea Brochure.pdf"}
      }, {
      }).then(adobeViewer => {
         adobeViewer.getAnnotationManager().then(annotationManager => {
       
             annotationManager.setConfig({ showCommentsPanel: false}) .then(() => console.log("Success"))
                 .catch(error => console.log(error));
         });
      })

      In the second argument to previewFile, which you have empty, add:

      enableAnnotationAPIs: true
