Check a draft against its sources before publishing. You read the evidence and make the decision; this worksheet records your review.
Your review
Review worksheet
Your review stays on your device. Choose how to save it after adding your draft.
1. Start with your draft
Start here. Keep the original; revise a separate final draft in step 2.
Keep your work
Choose how to keep this review.
Save on this device lets you come back later. No review copy is saved until you choose it.
Keep a backup file too. It can bring your review back if browser data is cleared.
No file is linked for updates.
How saving and privacy work
Device saves stay in this browser on this site. Other people who use this browser can open them. Use a private session on a shared computer. We do not send your review to our server.
Clearing this site's saved data can erase device copies. A private browser window may erase them when it closes. Keep a backup file for important work.
Download backup gives you a review file to keep. Open a review file brings it back on any browser or device.
Choose a new file in a folder you can find. We update it while this review is open. When you return, link a new file to start updates again. A browser reset does not remove a file you kept outside browser storage.
Private session stops new device saves. Earlier saved copies stay until you delete them. Open saved reviews to choose which copies to delete. Downloaded files stay where you put them.
Use a short name you will recognize when you reopen it.
Choose the kind of text you want to check.
Use your name or a work ID that shows who you are. Short names are welcome.
Who is this for, and when will you use it? Required before approval
Say who will read it, why and when.
Suggested answers for Job listing
- audience
- People deciding whether and how to apply for this job.
- intended use
- Publish a source-based job summary that links to the employer opening.
- intended timeframe
- Current publication planned for October 15, 2026. Recheck if the source or publication date changes.
Choose this only if the description fits. Edit it for your actual publication.
For example, Arizona applicants deciding whether to apply.
Say what a reader might decide after reading this text.
For example, terms checked on October 7, 2026, or an announcement made in November 2024.
Choose the past only if that is what readers need. Old evidence cannot prove what is true now.
Who checked it and when to check again
A named person is the usual choice. You enter the name; the tool does not check their identity.
Checking your own work twice is still self-review.
The current responsible reviewer must be a different named person.
Say what each person or agent checked.
Consider applicants, customers, employees and readers with less context.
YYYY-MM-DD. You can save an unfinished date.
For example, a source change, an expired job or a reported error.
Use your existing correction process. This field sends nothing.
Sources to check
Keep only text you need and have permission to save. Do not enter secrets or personal details you do not need.
No sources yet. Add the original employer page, organization record or dated release you will check.
Review progress: 0/0 sources checked; 0/0 claim checks recorded; final list still to check. 10 checks still needed.
These counts show the checks you recorded. You must find each important claim and judge its evidence.
