Both tools live in the editor's Review menu, in the bar at the side of the editor, next to the reviewer panel. They point out problems and suggest fixes in a panel; neither one changes your text.
Document Audit
Audit reads your document as a whole and reports what's wrong with it: problems with citations, structure, tone, completeness, consistency and sources. Each finding quotes the passage it's about, says why it was flagged, and suggests what to do, so you get concrete things to fix rather than vague advice.
Use it after you've finished a full draft and before you submit. It needs at least 50 words to run, and it isn't much use on a half-written document. Audit reads up to about the first 24,000 characters of a document (roughly 4,000 words) and returns up to 20 findings, so on a long manuscript, run it section by section.
How to run an Audit
- Choose Review → Audit (or Run AI review in the command palette).
- Click Run audit.
- Review the findings, grouped by category.
- Address the issues that matter, and Dismiss the ones that don't. Not every suggestion is mandatory.
Proofreading
Proofread is a language review. It catches grammar and spelling mistakes, unclear phrasing, tone, consistency and style issues, and gives the document a readability score. It's different from Audit: Proofread works at the sentence level, Audit at the document level.
How to run Proofread
- Choose Review → Proofread. It runs on the document right away.
- The panel lists each issue with its type and the words it's about. Click an issue to see the suggested change.
- Make the changes you agree with in your text yourself.
Proofread reads up to about the first 8,000 characters of the document (roughly 1,300 words).
