Threaded comment support by Office professional version of Excel

Question

Is threaded comment supported by Office professional Plus 2021 version of Excel? When I tried to edit the comments by it that are edited by Office Home and Business 2021 or Microsoft 365 enterprise version of Excel, every single comment shows an error message "[Threaded comment] Your version of Excel allows you to read this threaded comment; however, any edits to it will get removed if the file is opened in a newer version of Excel. Learn more: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=870924" on it.

Is there any possible way to edit the threaded comments by Office professional version of Excel as the same as the other Office version of Excel?

Thank you very much for your support in advance!

Hi @Atsushi Ando

Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021 does not support Threaded comment feature.

The following image is the Comments in Excel of LTSC Professional Plus 2021. The feature is like the Notes feature in Microsoft 365 Apps.

Is there any possible way to edit the threaded comments by Office professional version of Excel as the same as the other Office version of Excel?

We are unable to do it, but you can edit Notes by Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021 as the same as the other versions of Excel.
