Guided review
When a workflow stages findings for your review, you get a focused, one-at-a-time surface instead of a pile of comments. You decide what to keep.

How does guided review work?
The review surface shows the source and current translation with the proposed change, a progress count (“Item 3 of 17”), and the controls that fit the finding — accept, reject, edit, or regenerate. Literess’s rationale for each is one line away. Nothing applies until you approve it.
This is where the analysis steps of a workflow land: the AI audit, the “find blocks” checks, the dialogue and CTA passes, the legal clause flag. Plain Smart Proofread doesn’t use this surface — it applies directly (see above).
What happens if I leave a review halfway through?
When a workflow stages findings for your approval, it never opens the review by itself. Every review lands in the Reviews ready list in the editor (just under the suggested workflows) — one row per language for a multi-language run — and waits until you open it.
Open a review when you’re ready, and leave any time — your progress is saved and the row stays listed until you finish or dismiss it. A Paused badge means the workflow stopped mid-way to wait for you: later steps run only after you approve. You’re only ever charged for the work already done — a parked review never holds your words. Dismissing a paused review cancels its remaining steps (the panel confirms first).
Review steps carry a “Wait for your review” toggle (on by default, shown as an amber badge). Turn it off and findings simply land as comments plus a sidebar report — no walkthrough.
Why does my review screen look different from one workflow to the next?
The screen follows what the Find blocks step was set to do. Review-only opens a walkthrough of the matched blocks (step through them, regenerate an alternative where you want one); flag-with-comments opens a triage of the comments; suggested-fixes opens accept/reject fix cards. In every mode, nothing applies without your approval.
Can I make the rest of the workflow run on only the findings I picked?
Yes — set that step’s review to pause and curate. The run stops there so you can pick which findings carry forward, and Apply & continue then runs the remaining steps on just the ones you kept. The alternatives are to review once the run is done (later steps run anyway; the review waits for you afterward), or no review at all, which applies findings automatically.
Does stepping through a guided review cost words?
No. Accepting, rejecting, and editing a finding are free, like every other edit in Transept — the step that produced the findings was billed when it ran. The one thing that costs is asking for a fresh alternative inside the walkthrough: that regeneration bills like any other rewrite.
