Create Word Comments via Office API

Hi, Could you add functionality to create Word comments via the Office API? I know have a proof of concept, named Feedback+, in the store where we create comments into a word document. But this has a bug. It creates a paragraph everytime someone creates a comment in the document. Thanks,

    This idea would be very helpful also for our business: our addin needs to add comments on complex and related documents and it also need to provide its user with the whole list of comments (cross documents) and their status.

    +1 for this from a customer (me).

     

    We have a large 'business rules' document being reviewed by many folks.  We are looking for efficient way to track open and closed comments and assign them - thinking of something that would show comments in excel or O365 lists or some such - best case the status of a comment in this list would be kept in 2-way sync with the doc.  I have people currently transcribing comments from word to excel to track what we still need to close - how 1990s!

     

    The lack of an O365 MS Graph API for 'modern comments' is pretty disturbing esp given the .NET SDK has comments collection and comments API objects
