Reviewable Edits

When Academe rewrites your text, the changes are not applied immediately. They arrive as tracked suggestions, and you decide what stays.

Every change is a proposal

Ask Academe to rewrite a paragraph, tighten an argument, or smooth a transition. Its output does not overwrite your draft. Instead, additions appear underlined and deletions struck through, so you can read the suggestion in context, right next to your own writing.

Accept or reject each change

Hover over any tracked change to bring up Accept / Reject controls. Accept the lines you agree with, reject the rest. Three rewritten sentences? Keep only the two that actually land.

An Accept all / Reject all shortcut is there for clear cases.

Stream as you watch

Long rewrites stream in character by character as tracked inserts. You see the suggestion unfold, and you can reject and move on the moment it goes sideways. No need to wait for it to finish.

Your changes, too

The same tracked-change system works for your own edits when you turn it on. It is useful when a thesis advisor wants to see what changed between drafts, or when you’re editing a peer’s work and want the original author to sign off before changes stick.

Why we do it this way
Most writing assistants apply changes first and ask questions later. That puts you in the weaker position of having to remember what you wrote and undo the parts you did not want. Reviewable edits flip it: your voice stays intact by default, and Academe only keeps lines you accept.
