Revise
See every AI edit. Keep the ones you want.
Ask most AI tools to edit and you get a new copy: reread all of it to find what moved, then take it whole or not at all. In MindMax every AI edit — one sentence or a whole draft — comes back marked on your own text and waits for you. A whole-draft revision arrives in groups, each with its reason, for you to accept or reject one by one.

The same edit, two ways of handing it back
On a page, a rewritten copy is annoying. On a chapter, it is the reason people stop letting AI edit anything that matters. Here is one chapter, three changes, one section left alone: on the left you reread everything to find them; on the right, anything unmarked is exactly what you wrote.
2 · Method
We surveyed twelve schools over one term.
3 · Results
Screen reading was faster, but recall a week later was lower.
4 · Discussion
This suggests that paper still helps with long texts, in line with earlier studies.
Teachers said the gap was widest on long texts.

2 · Method
As the introduction explained, this study asks whether the reading medium affects recall. We surveyed twelve schools, and the results of the survey were collected over the course of one term over one term.
3 · Results
Screen reading was faster, but recall a week later was lower.
4 · Discussion
This provessuggests that paper still helps with long texts, which is something that many earlier studies have also found, in line with earlier studies.

One review, wherever the edit comes from
It does not matter which part of the app made the change. It reaches you the same way.
- At the cursor: select a sentence and ask for a rewrite, or let it continue where you stopped. The suggestion appears in place, as a marked change.
- From the conversation: @ a document and describe what should change, and the edits come back into the document itself, not as a reply for you to copy across.
- From your comments, or from a long draft MindMax wrote for you: every fix comes back as a group of marked changes, section by section.
What the review looks like
Built so you can judge an edit in the time it takes to read it, and undo it later if you judged wrong.
In place, in the document
Insertions and deletions show inside the text you wrote, rendered the way the document renders. There is no separate diff window to map back to your text.
Losses are flagged
Footnotes, citations and [[links]] are meant to survive an edit. A group that drops one anyway carries a warning, so you see the loss before you accept it.
Grouped, with a reason
Each group has a title and one line on why. When you asked for the revision with comments, the group also names the comment it answers, so every change traces back to what you asked for.
Accept or reject, group by group
Or all at once. Step from one change to the next without scrolling for it. Two groups that touch the same words are flagged, and accepting one rejects the other rather than stacking them.
Nothing written until you apply
Your file is untouched while you review. Only the groups you accepted are written, and only when you say so.
Applied is not final
Every applied change goes into the document’s own history, so a change you regret tomorrow is one step back, not a rewrite.
Where it gets hard
- A cursor suggestion is one change
At the cursor, the suggestion is accepted or rejected as a whole. Selecting a whole chapter there gives you one change too big to judge. For that, describe the change to the assistant or leave comments, and it comes back as many small groups.
- Markdown and Word, not every format
The review covers the Markdown documents in your folder and Word files you ask it to revise. A PDF is never edited itself: its changes go into a Markdown copy beside it. Ebooks and slides are read and annotated, not edited.
- Export is not the same as revising a Word file
Revising a .docx you already have writes Word tracked changes into it for someone else to review. Exporting a Markdown document to Word gives you the accepted text, without revision marks.
- Your own edits are not tracked
This is how AI edits reach you. What you type yourself goes straight into the file as usual, and is kept in the document history.
Common questions
How do I see what the AI changed in my text?
You do not have to look for it. Every AI edit in MindMax is shown on your own text as a tracked change — deletions struck through, insertions highlighted — so anything without a mark is exactly what you wrote.
Can I keep some AI edits and reject others?
Yes. A whole-document revision comes back as groups of changes, each with a title and a one-line reason, and you accept or reject each group on its own. A single suggestion at the cursor is one change, which you accept or reject as a whole.
Does the AI change my file before I accept?
No. Your file is untouched while you review. Only the changes you accept are written, and applied changes go into the document history so you can step back.
Is this the same as Word’s track changes?
It works the way Word’s review does, and on a Word file it ends in Word’s own: @ a .docx, review the AI’s edits in MindMax, and the ones you accept are written into the file as Word tracked changes, under your name, for the next reader to accept or reject. Exporting a Markdown document to Word is different — that gives you the accepted text, without revision marks.
