Got an update to version 1.1.5 today with one massive improvement:
With the previous version you must manually switch languages (English and Dutch for me), but with this version you can select up to three proofing languages.
So, no need to switch manually anymore (y)

Unfortunately, I can't find a changelog 😢

How does the extension differ from Windows internal spellchecking ?
With my Microsoft 365 account I get more functions:
Advanced grammar
Clarity
Conciseness
Formal language
Vocabulary
Punctuation conventions

Thanks, downloaded from Microsoft. (y)

As of posting this:
Microsoft Add-on Store: v1.1.5 - 2nd December
Chrome Web Store: v1.1.4 - 17th November

Did you need to login into your Microsoft 365 account? Or is using a online Windows account and Edge syncing enough?
You need to Sign in.

OR If you're already signed in on Edge (ie. for Sync), it will find your account.

Yes, the chrome version has not the multiple language selection yet, but hopefully will get that update soon.
