Review changes as you go
Writing·3 min read·Updated 2 months ago
Rather than scrolling through inline strike-throughs, Voysey's revision suggestions live in a changes accordion in the tools rail. Expand it to see what Voysey proposes, accept or reject piece by piece, and collapse it when you just want to read the manuscript.

How the accordion works
- Each suggestion sits as its own row, with the original text, the proposed change, and a short reason.
- Accept applies the change to the manuscript.
- Reject discards the suggestion and remembers you did not want it.
- Accept all at the top applies every suggestion in the current chapter.
Why an accordion, not inline
Inline strike-throughs make the manuscript hard to read while you are reviewing. Pulling the changes into their own panel keeps the manuscript readable and gives you space to think about each suggestion.
Read the chapter first, then decide
Collapse the accordion, read the chapter clean, then expand and work through suggestions. Reviewing while reading tends to lead to autopilot accepts.
