After saving a document I had left comments and tracked changes on, half of my comments disappeared. The regular comments/sticky notes are there, but the ones attached to the track changes are gone. Is there any way to restore them? And if not, how can I avoid this happening in the future? I've included some screenshots and a clearer explanation below.
