I am more interested that (a) "not hide options ..." and (b) somehow visually
indicate "why" I cannot do a disabled action, e.g. raise an Error Message box
sayng "Cannot remove sheet: tracking changes is active!".

Adding more text somewhere in Help will not make much difference, since there
is already something there (as is indicated somewhere).

As long as we are saying the same thing, yes, everything is okay.
