The review desk separates feedback by expert so you can consider one editorial lens at a time.

With Standard, Plus, or Pro, Review includes six lenses: Editor, Characters, Continuity, Readability, Setting, and Research. Each concentrates on a different class of question.

Let assessments update as you work

Assessments run automatically, so you can keep writing while feedback is prepared. Use the status in Review to see its progress, then consider the results at a natural pause in your revision.

Keep authorship with you

A review identifies possibilities and pressure points. Accept only the suggestions that strengthen the story you intend to tell.
