FAQ
What should I do if proofreading does not run normally?
- Confirm that the file is open correctly and that you can access the Review tab.
- Make sure you entered the proofreading feature from the correct path under Review → Proofreading.
- If the panel loads slowly or results take time to appear, check whether the app and network are working normally.
- Close the current panel, reopen the proofreading feature, and try the check again.
How can I process too many proofreading results more quickly?
- Review a few suggestions first to confirm that the suggested direction matches your content.
- Use One-click Correction for repeated issues when appropriate.
- Add fixed terms, names, or specialized wording to a dictionary to reduce repeated prompts.
- Export a report after processing so you can review the changes again.
When should I use Dictionary Management?
- Use Dictionary Management when your spreadsheet contains many industry terms, internal abbreviations, or fixed names.
- Add common correct forms to approved words or terminology.
- Add items that need special attention to incorrect words, sensitive words, or other matching categories.
- Save the changes and run proofreading again to see whether the results better match your needs.
Will proofreading changes affect other collaborators?
- Reviewing suggestions, ignoring items, and changing settings mainly happen within your current editing workflow.
- Changes appear in the file only after you confirm corrections and save the spreadsheet.
- For shared files, review important edits again before saving.
