Start from what you can see
Find the line that matches. Nothing here changes your draft.
- No Adjust
Select again
Select the passage on the paper again and let go. Adjust and Ask about this appear under it once the selection rests. In the extension, the Revise mark stands beside the words instead; if it does not appear, open the side panel to check you are signed in and Revise is on for this site, and refresh a tab that was open before you installed.- Result did not apply
The words moved
If you edited the passage while Revise worked, nothing is applied and Adjust says so. Select the current wording and run it again. In Docs or Word Online, check the page first; the change can land a moment late.- Copy instead of replace
Paste it yourself
That page cannot be edited directly. In the extension, the line from the mark says Couldn't write it here and holds the new words; press Copy, and paste them where they go.- No Write
Start from the home
On the web, ask for a draft on the home, or press Or start on a blank page under the bar. In the extension, click into an empty box and point at the Revise mark for Write…, or press Ctrl+Shift+Y (⌘+Shift+Y on a Mac).- Proofread will not run
Write something first
Proofread needs text. If there is text, the message in Suggestions says whether the connection or your actions are the problem.- That didn't come through
Press Try again
A send that fails says so in the chat, with Try again beside it.- Couldn't save
Press Retry on the paper
Couldn't save. Retry appears at the top of the paper. Press it, and leave the draft open until it goes.
Reconnect the extension
Open the side panel
Press the Revise icon in Chrome's toolbar (under the puzzle piece if it is not pinned). If the panel shows Sign in, press it and sign in the way you did before.Check it is on for this site
In the panel's menu, Revise on this site should be on. A site you made quiet stays quiet until you turn it back on there.Refresh the tab once
Then reselect the text rather than reusing the old selection.
