Complete Feature Guide

How WritAIQ Works

Everything you need to know about each feature — from grammar checking to team collaboration. Written for users, not developers.

Feature 1

Smart Text Editor

A powerful, distraction-free writing environment with real-time collaboration.

How do I create a document?

Click "New Document" on the Dashboard or Documents page. Give it a title and start writing immediately.

Is there auto-save?

Yes. Your content is automatically saved as you type — no need to press Ctrl+S. A "Saving..." indicator appears briefly in the toolbar.

Can I import existing content?

Yes. Use "Import from URL" on the Dashboard. Paste any blog post or article URL and WritAIQ will extract the text content into a new document.

What about formatting?

The editor supports Markdown syntax. Use # for headings, **bold**, *italic*, - for lists, and more. Click the Preview button to see the rendered output side-by-side.

What are document statuses?

Every document has a workflow status: Draft → Review → Approved → Published. Writers can set Draft or Review. Only Editors and Admins can approve or publish.

Feature 2

Grammar & Spell Check

Catch every typo, grammar mistake, and style issue before your readers do.

How do I run a grammar check?

Open any document, then click the "Analysis" tab on the right panel. Click "Grammar" to start. Results appear in seconds.

What does the score mean?

The grammar score (0–100) reflects the overall quality of your writing. 90+ is excellent. Each issue found lowers the score based on severity.

Can I fix issues directly?

Yes. Each issue shows one or more suggested fixes. Click a suggestion to apply it instantly — the correction is made right in your text.

What if the checker flags a correct word?

Click "Ignore" to dismiss it for that document, or "Add to Dictionary" to permanently whitelist the word across all your documents.

Does it work with team dictionaries?

Yes. If your document belongs to a team with a Style Guide, the team's custom dictionary words are automatically recognized and won't be flagged as errors.

Feature 3

Readability Analysis

Ensure your content matches your target audience's reading level.

What metrics are measured?

Four industry-standard algorithms: Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, Gunning Fog Index, and SMOG Index. Each evaluates your text from a different angle.

What is the grade level?

It tells you the minimum education level needed to understand your content. For general audiences, aim for Grade 6–8. For academic content, Grade 12+ is acceptable.

What are "long sentences"?

Sentences with more than 20 words. Too many long sentences reduce readability. WritAIQ highlights them so you can consider splitting them.

What about passive voice?

Passive voice ("The ball was thrown") is harder to read than active voice ("She threw the ball"). WritAIQ counts passive voice occurrences and lists the specific sentences so you can rewrite them.

What suggestions do I get?

Actionable tips like "Reduce average sentence length", "Replace complex words", and "Convert passive voice to active voice" — each tailored to your specific content.

Feature 4

SEO Optimization

Optimize your content to rank higher in search engine results.

What does the SEO score measure?

A 0–100 score based on keyword usage, heading structure, meta description quality, content length, link health, and image optimization.

What is keyword density?

The percentage of times a keyword appears in your content. WritAIQ shows your top keywords with their density and count, so you can ensure optimal usage (typically 1–3%).

What is the heading structure check?

Search engines use headings (H1–H6) to understand your content hierarchy. WritAIQ analyzes whether you have proper heading structure and flags issues like missing H1 or skipped levels.

What is the SEO checklist?

A pass/fail list of best practices: content length, keyword in title, meta description length, heading usage, image alt text, internal links, and more. Green = pass, Red = needs attention.

Does it check my links?

Yes. WritAIQ scans all URLs in your content and flags broken links, redirects, and missing anchor text.

Feature 5

Tone & Style Detection

Understand the emotional tone and formality level of your writing.

What tones are detected?

WritAIQ identifies tones like Professional, Casual, Academic, Persuasive, Informative, and Emotional. It shows a confidence score for each detected tone.

What is the formality level?

A score from Very Informal to Very Formal. This helps ensure your tone matches your audience — a LinkedIn article should be more formal than an Instagram caption.

Does it detect sentiment?

Yes. The sentiment analysis shows whether your content reads as Positive, Neutral, or Negative, with a confidence percentage.

How do I adjust my tone?

Each analysis includes specific suggestions like "Use more direct language" or "Add more data to support claims" to help you shift toward your desired tone.

Feature 6

Engagement Prediction

AI-powered prediction of how well your content will perform.

How does it predict engagement?

A machine learning model analyzes your content's structure, readability, keyword usage, title quality, and formatting patterns to predict a 0–100 engagement score.

What factors affect the score?

Content length, heading usage, paragraph structure, readability level, keyword density, title power words, and overall content quality.

What are the improvement suggestions?

Specific, actionable recommendations like "Add more subheadings", "Shorten paragraphs", or "Include more power words in your title".

Feature 7

Plagiarism Detection

Check your content for originality and potential duplicate content.

How does plagiarism detection work?

WritAIQ breaks your content into segments and checks them against web sources using text fingerprinting and similarity algorithms.

What is the originality score?

A 0–100% score where 100% means fully original. Matched sources are listed with similarity percentages and direct links so you can verify and rewrite.

Feature 8

Team Collaboration

Work together with your team on documents in real-time.

How do I create a team?

Go to the Teams page from the sidebar. Click "New Team", give it a name and description. You become the Admin automatically.

How do I invite members?

On the Teams page, select your team, and use the invite form to add members by email. Choose their role: Editor, Writer, or Viewer.

What are the roles?

Admin: Full control — manage team, approve/publish, assign authors. Editor: Edit any document, approve/publish, assign authors. Writer: Edit any team document, set status to Draft or Review. Viewer: Read-only access to all team documents.

How do I accept an invite?

When someone invites you, a "Pending Invite" card appears on your Dashboard. Click "Accept" to join or "Decline" to reject.

What is the Primary Author?

Admins and Editors can tag any team member as the "Primary Author" of a document. This is an accountability label — it shows who is leading that piece. It does NOT restrict others from editing.

Can multiple people edit at the same time?

Yes. WritAIQ uses real-time collaborative editing (Yjs + WebSocket). Multiple users can type in the same document simultaneously and see each other's changes live.

What are comments?

Click the Comments icon to open the comments panel. Leave feedback on specific parts of a document. Comments support threading (replies) and can be marked as resolved.

What is version history?

WritAIQ automatically saves snapshots of your document as you work. Open the Versions panel to see all past versions, compare changes, and restore any previous version.

Feature 9

Approval Workflows

Define custom content pipelines for your team.

What are workflow stages?

The default pipeline is Draft → Review → Approved → Published. On the Teams page, Admins can customize this to 2–5 stages that match your team's process.

How does the approval flow work?

A Writer creates content and sets it to "Review". An Editor or Admin reviews it, makes edits, and sets it to "Approved". Finally, the Admin sets it to "Published".

Can Writers approve their own work?

No. Writers can only set documents to Draft or Review. Only Editors and Admins can set Approved or Published — this ensures a proper review process.

Feature 10

Team Style Guide

Maintain consistent brand voice and terminology across all content.

What is the Style Guide?

A centralized set of writing rules for your team: Brand Voice description, Tone Guidelines, and a Custom Dictionary of approved and forbidden words.

How do I set it up?

Open any team document in the editor. Admins will see a "Style Guide" button in the toolbar. Click it to open the Style Guide modal and configure your rules.

What is the custom dictionary?

Two lists: "Approved Words" (brand names, product terms) that the grammar checker will never flag, and "Forbidden Words" (competitor names, outdated terms) that should be avoided.

Does it integrate with grammar checking?

Yes. When you run a grammar check on a team document, the team's custom dictionary is automatically applied. Approved words are whitelisted, and forbidden words are flagged.

Feature 11

Writing Templates

Start new documents from pre-built templates to save time.

How do I create a template?

Go to the Teams page, select your team, and click the "Templates" tab. Admins and Editors can create templates with a name, category, description, and template content.

What are categories?

Optional labels like "Blog Post", "Press Release", "Social Media" that help organize your templates for easy discovery.

Who can use templates?

All team members can view templates. Only Admins and Editors can create, edit, or delete them.
