Check spelling and word choice

Work through the list

1. 1Open Proofread from the left rail.
2. 2Filter the list by Correctness, Clarity, or Style when you want a narrower pass.
3. 3Select an issue to move to the affected text in the manuscript.
4. 4Select the highlighted text to inspect replacements, then apply one when it fits.
5. 5Dismiss an issue when the original wording is intentional.
6. 6Use Add Word in a spelling popover to recognize a name or intentional term across Minstrel.

Choose spelling behavior

Open Settings > Writing to adjust proofreading and spelling preferences. Spelling autocorrect starts off by default on new settings; an existing saved preference is preserved. Turn it on if you want suggested spelling corrections applied as you continue writing.

Protect the voice of the project

Suggestions are prompts for inspection. Dialogue, invented names, regional language, and deliberate fragments may be correct for the work even when they are unusual.
