Benefits: Can update metadata directly on the page, Updates on the page instantly, Can be easily locked/protected on the page.
Drawbacks: Doesn't work with doc format, May not work on Mac versions of Word
All of the Mac MVPs say that they do work on the Mac versions, just very difficult to create or change them on the Mac. Content Controls for macOS - Cool Code - Brandwares
