COMMENTS have become NOTES, and "Edit Note" is missing from right-click menu...

So MS has renamed the old Comments to Notes, and the new Comments have become threaded conversations.

We're now using Notes in the same manner as we used to use Comments. The problem is, EDIT NOTE nor NEW NOTE appear in the right-click menu when in a cell that has a Note, only DELETE NOTE.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Looks like I'm alone on this one.

No - you're definitely not alone!
I have the same issue (as do Excel users the world over); it's been out in beta for some time, if I understand correctly, and is now being rolled out with (at least) Ofice 365.
Complete pain for me, too - I have loads of workbooks with loads of comments (notes) which I sometimes need to edit, and now can't (well, not easily). I've also built my own right-click menu item, to add a new comment (old-style) which brings up an inputbox, into which the user types their text; my code then formats the text as I want it to appear, before then inserting the comment. It's worked superbly for years, and now I'm needing to rethink the whole thing.
Why ever MS didn't leave comments well alone, and just call the new conversations something else, God only knows!

I've not had a look yet, but we can't be the only ones bemoaning this change - I assume there'll be lots of posts on this forum, so I'm now off to find some more threads on the subject............... and re-write some more code, no doubt. I'm sure I'll need to write a procedure to find all comments in a workbook, and convert them to "Notes" or something similar.
