Threaded comments instead of Notes
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?
I have the same problem. Notes are not in any menus, and not in the right-click pull down. However, I can add or edit using "Shift-F2"!! It seems the function is there, but just missing from all menus. "Comments" are there, but not "Notes". I am using Shift-F2 for now but VERY frustrated I can't get it in my pull-down menu or the ribbon at all!
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 availableStrange. Anyway, so far so good.
