Add "add text comment" (without a border) tool back to new August 2023 Acrobat experience
I can't find "add text comment" (without a border) tool in August 2023 Acrobat.
When I choose another similar sounding tool called "insert text comment" and clicking on a newly-created blank page, nothing happens. (I don't know what this for in either old or new version. It may have something to do with cursor?)
Workaround is to use "add text comment" (with a border), change properties to always have no border displayed and resize the border after typing.
The old version behavior of "add text comment" appeared to add text at position clicked on a page and then flowed right until reaching the edge of the document before wrapping to a line below original click.
Is there a way to accomplish the old behavior of the "add text comment" without a border tool in the new version?

Solved!
I found the Add text comment tool when I customized the Quick Action Toolbar.
Steps to duplicate:
Click on the 3 horizontal dots button on the bottom of the Quick action toolbar.
Click on the Customize button that displays next to it, opening the Customize quick action toolbar dialog.
Click on Comment to open a list of commenting tools.
Click on the Text tool to highlight it (T with a plus symbol). (This is the Add text comment tool that I used in the previous UI. It is the one without a border.)
Click on the Circle containing the plus symbol and underlined by a left facing arrow to add the Add text comment tool to the bottom of the Quick action toolbar.
Click Save button to close the Customize quick action toolbar dialog
Click on the newly added tool (T with plus symbol) and on Windows Version, position the "click to type insertion tool" over an area on the page and click and type to add a text comment without border that flows text to the right page border and left aligns under the original click. (On the Mac Version, you will just see the insertion tool without the "click to type" verbiage.
