Macro to pull Office 365 'Comments' onto new tab like I previously did with what's now 'Notes'

Hi. I had cobbled together a macro based on various threads I found to create a new tab in workbook and list detail for any cells on any/all tabs with the yellow box comments. It showed the location of comment, the text in the cell, and then my comment text. It was helpful to me when I went back to review workpapers where I left comments for my team to see what was there before they revised or moved it. I've recently been migrated to Office 365 and the macro no longer works and it's making tracking whether items were addressed when the cell is now blank but my comment remains (I don't know what was previously there to see if it's been moved somewhere else).

I'm not savvy enough with VBA to know how to fix it to now pull the new 'Comments' section vs. now what's reflected as 'Notes' in the Review toolbar. I tried changing 'mycell.Comment.Text' to mycell.CommentThreaded.Text' but it didn't make a difference; still produces a blank Review Notes tab. Can someone help?

Before O365 migration (macro was based on this Comments section - green highlight)

Post migration (now need to have it look for this section - green highlight now considered 'Notes')

VBA Code:
Sub ShowCommentsAllSheets()

'summarizes all review comment boxes in workbook
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False

  Dim commrange As Range
  Dim mycell As Range
  Dim ws As Worksheet
  Dim newwks As Worksheet
  Dim i As Long

Set newwks = Worksheets.Add

 newwks.Range("A5:D5").Value = _
     Array("Tab", "Cell", "Cell Value / Description", "Review Comment")
    
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
  On Error Resume Next
  Set commrange = ws.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeComments)
  On Error GoTo 0

  If commrange Is Nothing Then
    'do nothing
  Else
 
    i = newwks.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

    For Each mycell In commrange
       With newwks
         i = i + 1
         On Error Resume Next
         .Cells(i, 1).Value = ws.Name
         .Cells(i, 2).Value = mycell.Address
         .Cells(i, 3).Value = mycell.Value
         .Cells(i, 4).Value = mycell.Comment.Text
       End With
    Next mycell
  End If
  Set commrange = Nothing
Next ws

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
I can't figure out how to remove this post but after 3hrs more of googling, I figured it out. I don't understand why my last revision worked - learning point for another day - but it did.
