Topics' readability score

You can see your topic's overall metrics scores while you are in the content editor. Moreover, you can also check the readability metrics in detail both in real-time (as you progress with your topic) or when you are finished.

Scan overall readability score

You can get an overall idea about your readability level by looking at the tiny bullets placed above the editor on the left. The bullet on the right is the readability icon. It could appear in red (unacceptable), yellow (needs improvement), or green (quite good).

You can also see your topic's readability score by moving over the icon so that the score number appears.

Check readability details in real-time

You can have the readability panel open as you progress with your content.

To check the readability scores and metrics in detail, click the readability icon (the small bullet above the editor). 

You can also get to the readability panel as follows:

1. On the content editor, click the options menu indicated by three vertical dots next to the publish button on the top right.
2. Click Readability. 

The readability panel will then open and replace the comment section on the right side of the editor.

You can see the overall readability score at the top of the panel both visually and interpreted in text. This score (and metric details as well) can change as you go on with typing and add more content.

1. Click each category (Errors, Improvements, and Good results) to expand and see each metric score and advice regarding its improvement.

To close the readability panel or get to see your comments, click comments on the options menu.

Scan the overall readability of all topics at once

As you open a topic readability panel, the readability icons of all topics of the document appear next to each topic's title on the document outline (topic tree) on the left.
