Threaded comments instead of Notes
Notes are not in pull-down menu of the comments. That is fully separated tab Notes on the ribbon under Review menu.

If you stay on the cell with existing note it'll be Edit, if on any other it'll be Add, isn't it?

No. Am I not being clear? When I select a cell and right click, there is no longer any "Notes" options, only "Comments". When I open the ribbon, under "Review" I have several "Comments" options, but no "Notes" options at all. I tried to add "Notes" commands to the ribbon, but when selecting "Customize Ribbon" there are no "Notes" commands in the list, (even when selecting "All Commands"). So... the NOTES functionality is still available with "Shift-F2", but not in any menus or right clicking on a cell, and can't be added to the ribbon. Does that help?
- dlpittengerFeb 08, 2019Copper ContributorOK, I just closed Excel and reopened it and Notes are back!! Must have just happened. Thanks for the help. I didn't get a new features notice when I opened it.

It appears that since yesterday, MS has restored the Notes functions. There was even a “new feature” explainer that popped up at the Review tab discussing the “new” comments and the old ones now called Notes. Thank you MS.
