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)

    The latest word from the Microsoft Word team is that they "followed-up with the crew for an update. It sounds like they were working with the Bing team on a fix." I guess that makes sense since this is a function that involves internet access and a browser.

    Hi Suzanne S. Barnhill- Do you know the ETA for the fix. I need this urgently. Do we have any work around ?

    If I knew it, I would have said so. If my Microsoft contact knew it, he would have said so. I have told you all I know.

    Thank you for getting an update, Suzanne. I do appreciate the time you have put into this thread.

    I am sorry you are getting some of the frustrations when it isn't your fault. If there is someone else we should be complaining to, please let us know.

    Any updates on this? I have worked with two technicians so far with no improvement. Thanks.
