Microsoft Editor Extension doesn't see subscription
Hi everyone, I'm having issue with enabling Refinements in Editor Chrome extension. I've tried both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome on macos Monterey and both have Refinements disabled with toolti...

I added the extension to Chrome on Mac OS Monterey just now and was able to see Refinements when logged into o365 with my O365 E3 licence. I don't have a family sub so can't compare. Maybe get yourself a free trial of O365 Business Premium or E3 and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks Peter, I can confirm that it's working with trial O365 Business Premium.
However, the landing page says that it's available under Personal and Family plans as well. I guess this is some bug or new decision to remove those features for personal users.

- BlackArcher90Jun 08, 2022Copper ContributorI happened to stumble on a solution, and it is just to wait! Reproduced a few times with different accounts and machines. Seems to be related to accounts with an alias set, but sometimes it's just because your account has *something* the plugin doesn't like.

Has this been resolved? I'm having the same issue. O365 family. Microsoft Editor page says the extra options besides just spelling and grammar are available for all non-free account types, not just business. I've got a ticket in with browser support but hoping someone figured this out.
- digitalodinMar 17, 2022Copper ContributorFor anyone else, this is still and issue for the Microsoft Edge version of the Editor extension. This works correctly in the Chrome version of the extension. At least for me anyway.

digitalodin That's odd, I've got the chrome webstore version on Edge and on Brave (chromium based), and in both cases I can't use the premium features.
Just like some others, I've got an O365 Family plan. Recurring billing is off, but I can't imagine that it should make a difference or not.
C'mon Microsoft, let us family users enjoy Editor in its full power. Else we'd have picked Grammarly instead.
