Can I remove Modern Comments and revert back?
Send feedback to Microsoft to let them know what you think about the so-called modern comments; for instructions, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-do-i-give-feedback-on-microsoft-office-2b102d44-b43f-4dd2-9ff4-23cf144cfb11.
Microsoft's rationale about "posting" is mentioned in the support article at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/using-modern-comments-in-word-edc6ae71-0a2d-49fe-8faa-986f1e48136a (which you may have seen already).
Finally, you should see an option to temporarily revert to the previous, more user-friendly interface at File > Options > General. Clear the check box next to "Enable modern comments."
Modern Comments has set my grading back decades, let the collaborators congregate on Teams. Leave Word alone.
Well, praise be! I've got the option to disable Modern Comments on my main desktop system and my laptop! NO idea how it got back, but good to have. Now all I need to see is if I can keep things as they are!
VERY many thanks to all those who have been involved in this epic!
