Collaboration features are not required by many people.If you try to click multiple times while in that state, Word crashes (Could not test, but reported by others) In long docs with many comments, adding more comments or doing other things results in ‘not responding’. Possible crashing as a result of using too many system resources to render Modern Comments.No option to turn off these new ‘features’.Things that no longer work in comments that did before.and there’s no option to revert to ‘classic comments’. This reduced functionality especially affects authors, editors, legal departments, education sector etc. The functionality of using comments has been greatly reduced with the introduction of Modern Comments (MC) into Microsoft Word.

Update June 2021: For the really short version, see this brilliant cartoon from Iva Cheung: Overall issues This is a long post, so you might want to grab a coffee… I’ve divided this post up into (no order of priority or severity is implied): no option to revert to ‘classic’ comments, with their previous functionality, including an option to turn off collaboration features.resulting additional time and loss of productivity (and therefore extra cost to the client) it takes to review/edit documents and make comments for author action (it’s not efficient).lack of connection between comments and the text they relate to (it’s hard to use and is not efficient).impingement on valuable screen ‘real estate’ (it’s hard to use and is not efficient).extra clicks and mouse movements that have to be done to insert, save, or edit a comment (it’s not ergonomically efficient).

Since then, I’ve allowed my laptop to upgrade to the latest Word 365 (version 2014, build 13929.20296), and have extensively tested Modern Comments to see what the issues are and how they may affect writers and especially editors, who often work on very long and complex documents written for fields such as the corporate and business world, government, legal and regulatory bodies, medical entities, academia and education, and more, as well as fiction books. I wrote a quick summary of the issues with Modern Comments (MC) nearly two weeks ago ( ).
