Yun_Wang​ thanks! For some reason I wasn't notified of this reply. I randomly found out about Annotations last week by going through the Word API changelog, so I checked this thread.
Unfortunately, because Annotations are tied to a Microsoft 365 subscription, we can't rely on it. Large customers, such as companies, schools, and government offices, are all on perpetual licenses. Only individuals are on M365.
It is an absolute travesty that Microsoft differentiates APIs based on which kind of license you have. E.g., currently we target WordApi 1.3, so we should be able to tell our customers that it requires "Office 2019 or newer" and not have to provide a caveat that it depends on how they installed Office. It's an absurd situation for support to have to ask the customer to check exact version numbers and installation method.
