The core loop

Get a document in
Upload a .doc, .docx, or .pdf, or pick one from a connected drive, and decide what happens
to the stored copy. My Documents
Run the review
Watch analysis complete and open the review editor. Review a document
Work the suggestions
Accept, reject, or ignore each card across Style, Clarity, Proofing, and Citations. Ignoring is not the same as rejecting. Work with suggestions

How access works
Plans and licenses
Individual, Pro, and Enterprise — what each includes, how the built-in trial works, and what survives when a license lapses.
Roles and permissions
Why a control can be missing: the license entitles the account, your role authorizes you.
Administration
Teams and organizations
Invitations, roles, pooled credits, SSO and SCIM.
Settings
Profile, sign-in, email preferences, and organization policy.
Integrations
Google Drive and OneDrive, and what access they grant.
Subscription
Compare plans, add seats, cancel, resubscribe.
Billing
Invoices, payment method, credit top-ups.
Usage and credits
What spends a credit, and how to read the ledger.
