Add config setting to hide discussion channels
This task aims to support workflows where communication between either 1) authors and the editorial team 2) reviewers and the editorial team and/or 3) the editorial team is not required.
The suggested solution is to use a checkbox configuration setting to show/hide;
- Author discussion on the
/submit
and/decision
pages - Review discussion on the
/review
page - Editorial discussion on the
/decision
page
