    Change default account for desktop Office


    I have a Microsoft 365 account for work and I manage both my own Microsoft account & a general "office" account. When I use the programs online via my browser I am automatically logged in with my own account, but when I open a file using the desktop apps, it defaults to the office account. So if I add a comment or make edits, it records it as "Office" making those changes. How do I change the default for those desktop apps?

    :)
