Switching off comment notifications in word documents
Hi - is it possible to turn off email notifications for replies to comments in a word document? We seem to get a notification about new comments every time the document is saved, and as Word autosave...
I think what you want is to turn off the email notifications in OneDrive.
- From the gear in you OneDrive account (online) select OneDrive Settings
- The Notifications Settings open - all are on by default. Slide the toggle to off for "Email notifications when other reply to your comments"
I have had my users (who collaborate and use comments in Word docs) do this and have not heard from them if that was the solution to stop the notification emails but it seems like it would be.

Thanks Kory but not within OneDrive or SharePoint. Email notifications are being triggered when someone commented in a Word document.
I'm having the same problem. I was just editing a word document with some notes to the side of the file and my professor has gotten a ton of emails about it. It's a shared file on Onedrive. Is this ANY way to turn this notification feature off?
- See my answer in the thread above - get your professor to click on the Notifications Settings at the bottom of the email notification they got. Then toggle 'off' all the ones in notification settings.
Yes, that is what it is regarding. When someone comments on a Word document comments. It is when the file is hosted in Onedrive or SharePoint. That is what I read.
