How do I turn off hyphenation for my text?

I just updated to the most recent version of InDesign CC this morning. Suddenly, the "hyphenation" checkbox I used to find on the Control Panel is no longer available. How do I turn off hyphenation for my paragraphs in the new version of CC? I am using a Windows machine.

Thanks in advance!

    That looks like the Text Frame Options. Go to the Paragraph Style Pallet instead.

    You can turn it off in your Paragraph styles. 

    Also, it looks like you have the Selection Tool chosen in your tool panel. 

    Pick the Text tool, and then the Paragraph option in the Control Panel to see the Hyphenation options

    Could you please specify where?

    Actually, SJ, that is the new Properties Panel. If the OP clicks on the three dots at the bottom of the Paragraph section the Panel expands to show more Paragraph related functions. I'm not on a computer with CC 2019 at the moment so I can't confirm that the Hyphenate option is actually there when it expands.
