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)

    Sean,

    My reply yesterday got marked as the answer to this problem, but I did not provide a solution. I am still having this problem today. I provided the info you asked the OP for, so I hope you will return to this thread and help.

    Thanks.

    Same problem. It worked on a document last week but not this week. Typical Microsoft.

    Thanks, Stefan. Will a moderator be coming back to this thread to help resolve the issue? I posted the information they asked the OP to help diagnose the issue.

    I was on chat with an agent who pointed me to this post as the place to get help two days ago, and I would really like to get this resolved. Or at least know that Microsoft is working on it.

    Hi,

    Editor's similarity checker is not working for me either. It stopped working this month (Nov).

    Regards,
