What is the difference between Misspellings, Needs Review and Approved words?

Approved words are words that will not be marked as misspellings in future spellchecks.

Question

What is the difference between Misspellings, Needs Review and Approved words?

Answer

In the Spelling section of the Quality Assurance module, you can make decisions on words and manage misspellings from a single page.

Go to Quality Assurance > Spelling > Find Misspellings.

Words fall into three categories: Misspelling, Needs Review and Approved Words.

Misspellings

To see a misspelling in context, expand the page column and click the page title/URL. You can fix misspellings directly in your CMS by clicking on the CMS button.

Needs Review

Needs Review allows you to confirm whether the words listed are misspellings or correct in the context of a specific site. The more words you review and categorize, the more accurate the spellcheck will be in the future.

Approved Words

This is useful if you want to avoid having proper nouns, names, addresses, or trademark names flagged in future spellchecks.
