Threaded comments instead of Notes
I have the last updated Excel Version 1901 (Built 11231.20130)
Since today I don't have possibility to create a Note, only Threaded comments.
here it says I can get back to old version of Notes https://support.office.com/en-us/article/converting-to-threaded-comments-f982427a-8100-496a-8eaa-b65815c8447f?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
But I can't! Only treated comments are available, so it should be a mistake, isn't it?
Also the problem is that I can't change all my Notes created before, I can't edit them only Delete is possible.

That means you don't have that icon, correct?

SergeiBaklan My users and I are having this same issue. i read through the entire thread here, and I don't see any option to create "notes" there is no separate section in the ribbon, no Notes at all. Evidently some users have had this available, however I don't understand why, as all users have installs directly from the MS Office 365 portal, All are updated to latest version.
This is very frustrating.

Hi Mark,
That build was in Sep previos year
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/monthly-channel-2018,
current one is 1903.
Notes were added later, don't remember when exactly.
The message "This product will not be updated" means updates are disabled.

Same problem here. No "notes" commands on the right-click menu nor on the ribbon.
MS: please fix this. You have wiped out a ton of legacy data.

So, you see New Comment only or which menu items are visible? And if you add Comment is it threaded?

Just after reloading finally Notes go after Comments in my Excel files.
So the problem is solved for the moment.
During the day Notes weren't available- SergeiBaklanDiamond Contributor
Strange. Anyway, so far so good.
