Feedback guidance
After a few rounds of Feedback, there are things you want to add every time. You'd like the praise kept short, or the dialect you wrote on purpose left out of the style check. Feedback guidance is your own document for standards like these. Apply one to each manuscript, and the overall impression, the consistency and style cards, and the Fix · Markup left in the manuscript all follow those standards.
Say the Feedback guidance applied to Mujin's manuscript reads “Leave Raon's dialect out of the style check” and “No more than three areas to improve.” From the next round on, Feedback stops flagging Raon's lines as a habit and picks at most three things to improve.
If the Writing style holds how the manuscript is written, Feedback guidance holds what your finished writing is checked against.
Creating Feedback guidance
- Open the avatar menu at the bottom of the sidebar.
- Under Agent customization, open Feedback guidance.
- Press Add. A new document opens, ready for you to write its first section.
You can have as many sections as you like, with any names. Split them by part of the feedback, such as what you want from the overall impression, what the style check should leave alone, or how heavy the markup should be, and each part reads the section that concerns it.
The first Feedback guidance you create inside a Space is applied right away to the manuscript you're looking at.
Applying and switching a manuscript's Feedback guidance
The Feedback guidance screen gathers your Feedback guidance from every Space as cards. Each card shows the opening of its text, the manuscripts that use it, and when it was last edited, and the document your current manuscript uses is marked Current manuscript in bold.
A manuscript takes one Feedback guidance. From a card's ⋯, choose what to do for your current manuscript.
- Apply to a manuscript when the manuscript has none yet
- Switch when another document is applied; you're asked once before it switches
- Unassign from manuscript when this document is the one applied
Each time you apply, switch, or remove one, a notice tells you which manuscript it happened to. One document can be applied to several manuscripts, so a whole series can be checked against the same standards.
Leaving Feedback guidance to the agent
You can ask in chat too: “In feedback on Mujin's manuscript, keep the praise to one line.” The agent finds that document among your Feedback guidance from every Space and edits it, or creates one and applies it if the manuscript has none yet. Creating, renaming, deleting, restoring, applying, and removing work the same way, and the result card shows which manuscript it was applied to or removed from. How the card gets written into the document follows your Edit permission.
Complain about how Feedback judged your writing, and the agent edits that manuscript's Feedback guidance as well.
- Feedback guidance belongs to your account, whatever the Space. Deleting a Space leaves it in place.
- Deleting a Feedback guidance document removes it from every other manuscript it was applied to.
- Without any Feedback guidance applied, Feedback goes by the manuscript's Writing style and the writing itself.
