The review

Know which comments to tackle first

Refine tags every comment with how much it matters, what kind of issue it is and how much work it takes to fix. Filter by any of them to plan your revision.

How it works

  1. 1

    Every comment gets three tags

    Severity, category and fix effort appear in a quiet line under each comment's title.

  2. 2

    Filter the list

    Pick tags in the feedback filter. The list, its counts and the document highlights update together.

  3. 3

    Export with tags

    The Markdown export keeps each comment's tags and names your active filter.

Key benefits

Critical issues stand out

Severity runs from Critical and Major to Minor and Suggestion, and the serious ones are highlighted.

Know the effort up front

See whether a comment is a Quick fix, Needs rework or Needs new work.

Hand it to the right person

Categories such as Substance, Evidence, Presentation and Compliance show who should act on what.

Filter to what you need

Show only the critical comments, or only the quick fixes, and the highlights in your document follow.

Consistent, not arbitrary

Severity comes from a fixed checklist of questions about each comment, not a gut feeling.
