My team has run into HUGE problems over the past couple of days because of the latest change over from discussion to comments. We have teams in different countries communicating with each other though the discussions. We had previously used separate discussions (on a single row) to communicate approvals needed from different departments or to communicate new versions of designs, but now all of these separate discussions have been merged together into one thread, which makes it extremely difficult to diffentiate between the individual discussions that had previously been separated.
We have also run into problems with emailing discussions. Previously, if we emailed a discussion, the subject line of the email would show the text that is shown in the first column. Now the subject of the email only rows the row number and name of the sheet. Our rows are continuously changing and the information included in that first column was vital for us to be able to identify which emailed discussion was associated with which product.
