Can I remove Modern Comments and revert back?
- Feb 22, 2022
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."
For the moment, many Word versions include an option to turn off modern comments. In Word for Windows, click File > Options > General and clear the check mark next to "Enable modern comments." Restart Word to get classic comments back.
You can let Microsoft know what you think about modern comments. Use the Feedback facility available within Word.

Remember to send Feedback to Microsoft about this. They have indicated an intention to remove this option in the future.

Charles_Kenyon I did send feedback! I hope everyone on this thread does.

I'm having trouble giving feedback in Word. I get a message that says "Sorry, Somthing went wrong, please check network connection", but my connection is fine.
Anyone else having this problem.
