Review what it learned

Accept or skip the profile changes the plugin proposes from your decisions.

Every apply and dismiss is logged, with the reason you gave. When a pattern shows up, the plugin turns it into a proposal: a change to your profile, or a kind of mark to turn down. Nothing changes until you accept it.

Before you start#

  • You've applied and dismissed marks for a while. Proposals come from repeated decisions, not from one.

Steps#

  1. Look for the count in the status bar, such as 3 to review. It's hidden when nothing is waiting.
  2. Click it, or select Review what I’ve learned… in the Learning section of the panel, or in Settings → Learning Editor.
  3. The list What I've learned shows each proposal as a question, with one line of evidence and up to two of your sentences.
  4. Select Accept to make the change, or Skip to say no. A skipped proposal isn't asked again.

What it proposes#

AfterIt asks
You dismiss the same words in the same kind 3 times (Not now doesn't count)Keep those words. They go under Voice to keep if every reason was Voice, and under Rejected suggestions if not.
You dismiss one of your habit words as Voice twiceTreat it as your voice: it goes under Voice to keep.
You apply a fix for one of your habit words 5 timesMake it an automatic check, under Habits to coach.
Your last 4 decisions on one source and kind were dismissals as Wrong (Not now is passed over)Turn that kind down for that source, for example spelling and grammar's Mechanics marks.

It doesn't ask about what your profile already says.

What you get#

An accepted change is one line in the right section of your profile, and a notice says Added to your profile. If you have no profile yet, one is made from the starter first. A turn-down is saved in settings instead (Turned down.). To bring a turned-down kind back, select Remove beside it under Learning in Settings.
