Review workflow

MUSE has a complete review workflow for revising — whether you’re editing your own work or incorporating notes.

Turn on suggesting mode and your edits are recorded as suggestions — insertions and deletions you can review later — rather than changing the text outright. Accept or reject each change individually, or all at once.

A revision pass is a named round of review (for example, “Line edit” or “Continuity pass”). Scope a pass to the whole project, a folder, or a collection; every suggestion you make while it’s active is tagged to that pass. When you complete a pass, MUSE automatically snapshots the documents it touched, so you always have a record of how things looked before.

Select text and add a comment anchored to that spot. Comments support threaded replies — useful for notes to yourself or back-and-forth with an editor or beta reader.

Take a snapshot to freeze a document’s current state. Snapshots let you compare against or roll back to an earlier version at any time. You can lock important snapshots so they’re never automatically pruned. MUSE keeps the most recent snapshots per document automatically.

A typical revision cycle:

  1. Create a revision pass.
  2. Edit in suggesting mode — your changes are tracked and tagged to the pass.
  3. Review the suggestions, accepting or rejecting each.
  4. Complete the pass — MUSE snapshots the affected documents.
  5. Archive the pass when you’re done.
