trying to install Editor as part of subscription

I have a family subscription to Microsoft 365 but when I try to install the Editor app (NOT Word, but the app called "Editor" that helps with grammar, spelling etc..) it takes me to a page asking me to subscribe. Isn't it free as part of my family subscription? how can I install it?

Microsoft 365 Family includes the advanced Microsoft Editor features. However, Editor is no longer a separate app or browser extension that you can install. Microsoft retired the Edge and Chrome Editor extensions on October 31, 2025, and moved their writing-assistance features into Microsoft Edge. You do not need to purchase another subscription.

To use it, sign in to Edge with the Microsoft account covered by the Family subscription, open edge://settings/languages, and select Microsoft Editor under Writing assistance. Editor is also built into Word and Outlook; open Home/Review > Editor while signed in with the same subscribed account.

Thank you! It's very confusing the way Microsoft presents the apps for installation - on the install page the Editor is listed as its own app!
