    Based on my research, it is possible to revert to an earlier version of Office if you are using the Click-to-Run version of Office 365.

    If you are still unable to revert to a previous version of Office, we strongly suggest you post this same concern directly to Microsoft 365 Insider - Microsoft Community Hub for further assistance. Developers like you are here to back you up and guide you with brilliant minds until your concern is fully taken care of.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Sincerely,
