    Hey
     
    Made a guide specifically for this using Power Automate Desktop. It's quite easy to get around, even though PAD doesn't have a built in function to solve it.
     
     
    Best regards

    There is no built-in "out of the box" method to retrieve comments.  I suspect that there are third party tools/connectors that may help (Encodian?).

    That said, a docx file is a zipped xml document.  You may be able to parse out the comments - here is a link to a post that might be a good place to start.  It shows how to extract text.  But with a little bit of experimentation, you may be able to retrieve comments.
