Editor's similarity checker not working

3/25 It's back!

I'm not sure if it works on every document, but it worked on one of mine!

(Edit on 4/26) It works on some documents but not on others... Does anyone else have the same problem?

2/23

Someone in the comment section said "The latest word, as of today, is "The latest update in the bug is that there are still some approvals that the team is waiting on. The Word team is treating this as a high-priority incident and is working to have this restored as soon as possible.". So anyone wondering for any updates, there it is...

Thank you!

(I will try my best to look for any updates given in this comment section)

    I am also having the issue. I am using Word for Mac as part of my 365 subscription.

    I contacted Microsoft support who said they will log the issue with the Word team. Maybe other people who are having the issue should also contact Microsoft support so the issue can be escalated.

    Same here. I have tried it on browser as well as desktop version but it's not working. Hoping Microsoft resolves it soon!
