How to Raise a Suggest Edit

Suggest Edit allows teams and their audiences to correct errors, suggest better wording, suggest alternative versions of paragraphs, and even use it as a to-do list.

Suggest Edit is in Beta

You can try it all you want. It will become a paid feature when it comes out of beta.

Activate Suggest Edit

The owner and admin of the note may enable Suggest Edit for the note.

1. Go to the "Share" menu and click "More settings."
   
2. Enable Suggest Edit and select who can propose edits.
   

Proposing a Suggest Edit

1. Select the words, paragraphs, or codes that you would like to propose an edit for and then click "Suggest edit."
   
2. Edit the selected characters in the side panel and see how it differs from the current version. Deleting all selected characters means you are proposing to remove the selection from the content.
   
3. You can add a reason if you want. Submit the suggestion when you feel satisfied. If you have more to follow up, you can always reply to the suggest edit, just like how you reply to a comment thread.
   

Edit a suggestion

You can edit a suggestion after it has been submitted, as long as the selection has not been changed.

Addressing a Suggest Edit

1. If you are the note's owner, admin, or writer, you will receive a notification when someone proposes a suggest edit to the note. Clicking the notification will take you to the panel for addressing suggest edits. Or you can open the Suggest edit panel from the right.
   
2. You can accept or close a suggest edit. Accepting a suggest edit immediately replaces the content with the suggestion. You may want to close it if you think it is duplicated, out of scope, spamming, or if you have already resolved it.
   
3. The user who proposed the suggest edit gets notified when someone has addressed a suggest edit.
4. If the selection has been changed since the suggestion was proposed, you cannot accept it. However, you can copy the suggestion by clicking on the clipboard icon next to the suggestion to edit the content manually.
   
5. You can find all suggest edits on the Suggest edit panel, where you may address them or reply to them.
