Is it the comments that are missing or is it the comment indicators.

I just shared a workbook, inserted a comment, saved, and reopened
and the comment was there. Did you save your workbook.

Since there is no point to me sharing a workbook I have very limited
experience, other than to say I won't use the option and don't have to
share with anyone for any reason. My own experience into shared
workbooks for highlight chnages is in
Highlight, Change Highlighting

and getting rid of it without restoring from a backup can be done with
Tools -- Share Workbook -- uncheck option

Hi,

I've recently been working in a shared workbook with up to four others users
and using the Insert Comment function. However, despite regularly saving the
changes, the bulk of my comments disappeared after I exited and re-entered
the spreadsheet. I'm led to believe that this can happen in shared workbooks
that contain a lot of data as the one in question does. Has anyone else
experienced this issue and/or know a solution to the problem?
