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."
How do I step through the tracked changes AND COMMENTS now? Going to Review > Changes > Next/Previous used to step through Tracked Changes and Comments. Now it seems to only step through Tracked Changes. How do I get the old feature back? I know I can step through Review > Comments > Next/Previous but then this misses the tracked changes. Having the one feature that steped through all was extremely useful instead of now having to remember to step through Comments and Tracked Changes separately. This latest update is killing my time management!
