• The business bar shows that a file that has modern comments was opened, or that comments were added by co-authors while the user has the file open.
• The business bar gives users options to save the file as a cloud file if it isn't already, and to open the file in a browser to get the new commenting experience.

• If users opt to delete comments while they are running Document Inspector, all comments are deleted as expected.
• If users opt to anonymize a document that has modern comments, they are informed that they can't anonymize the comments but can use the Document Inspector to remove the comments from the document.

• The Word Count function doesn't work well in PowerPoint. An incorrect word count result occurs if special whitespaces are used in the content.
