Users accidentally turn on features all of the time, or there are weird issues on Android where, in rare cases, user's preference files are modified in some way by the updating process, and it changes some of their settings (I've never experienced this myself but have been contacted by plenty of users that are impacted by it). So my concern here is not for the users who know what they are doing. My concern is that, in those situations where maybe it's turned on accidentally, users annotations are modified in an unreversible fashion. There is no way to get back the original annotations short of reverting the entire database to an earlier point, because once the annotations are embedded, they either won't be editable in the same fashion anymore, or they may be altered slightly. I completely understand your desire (and frustration) with resistance to an existing feature being automated. I just don't know how to ensure that, if I add this back, the same things that happened last time won't happen again, and I just don't want to deal with that if it's not a feature that a large number of users really need. I have not gotten a single email or forum post from users that really had to have this functionality (before this one), and that's how I gauge user interest in a feature. 

There is one "middle-ground" path I'm willing to take here. If there is an option to automatically embed annotations, but it always defaults to off each time the application is loaded, then there would be no possibility of it being left on unintentionally by users, so the potential fallout would be significantly reduced. You'd just need to remember to enable this feature each time you load MobileSheets. If you are okay with that, then I can add this back as a temporary toggle.
