I just got a new Macbook Pro and I cannot seem to turn on modern comments in Word. When I go to Word's System Preferences > General, you would normally see the "Enable Modern Comments" option, but it's not there. My mac is on Sequoia 12.1.1 and my word is version 16.91. I really hate using classic comments, so if anyone has a solution, please let me know.

    Hi,

    Did you use Office 365 for mac?

    This feature only available in Word for Microsoft 365 for Mac, I suggest you check if you're using Microsoft 365 for Mac.
