Revise selected text with Writing Assistant actions
Select the right passage, run a writing action, and check that the result preserves the original meaning.
In this article
Quick actions target a passage without requesting changes to the entire document. Your selection affects the available context. Choose complete sentences or paragraphs so the action can retain their meaning.
Steps
- Open a Writing Assistant document and highlight the passage to improve.
- Check that the selection includes important context, such as the sentence's subject and necessary references.
- Open the available action menu and choose the task matching your goal, such as paraphrasing or writing refinement.
- If an instruction field is offered, state the audience, style, or information that should be preserved.
- Wait for the result and compare it with the original. Accept useful changes and reread the surrounding paragraphs.
Expected result
The revised passage remains consistent with its document. You decide which suggestions become part of the final text.
Troubleshooting
- If no action menu appears, confirm that text is selected and the editor is not busy with another operation.
- If a suggestion changes facts or intent, reject it and refine the selection or instructions before trying again.
