PerfectIt can identify inconsistencies in spelling, capitalization, hyphenation, abbreviations, numbers, headings, and lists. However, experienced users can go much further than running the standard checks.
In this advanced, example-led webinar, Brigitte will demonstrate techniques for adapting PerfectIt to complex editorial projects. Participants will learn how to select and combine styles, work efficiently with long or complex documents, interpret findings that don’t have a single obvious resolution, and customize checks for a client or publication.
The webinar will examine situations in which apparent inconsistencies may be intentional, including quotations, technical terminology, proper names, and context-dependent usage. It will also show participants how to distinguish between a useful automated finding and a decision that requires editorial judgment.
The session is intended for editors who already use PerfectIt and want to use it more confidently and efficiently.
By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Customize PerfectIt for different clients, publications, and document types
- Apply custom preferences and style rules
- Recognize which decisions should never be delegated to software
