Severity tags and editor detail

Last updated June 10, 2026 · 3 min read

Every AI Editor suggestion carries a severity tag so you fix the most critical first. These items live in the report's Editor detail tab.

AI Beta Readers report Editor Details: each suggestion tagged with a severity (Critical / Major), with problem, fix, cited passage, and Mark as Resolved

Four severity levels

In the Editor detail tab, every suggestion is tagged:

Tag Meaning
Critical Not fixing it seriously hurts readers / market acceptance
Major Fixing it noticeably improves the experience
Minor Smaller impact; optional
Suggestion Polish-level proposal

The number beside the tab name (e.g. "Editor detail 16") is the total suggestion count for this report.

What each suggestion holds

  • A severity tag (above) + a topic label (e.g. "Show vs Tell", "Copy Editing / Typos")
  • Problem found — the AI explains why it's a problem, often citing reader data (e.g. engagement dropped to 33% at a passage)
  • Suggestion — how to fix it, often with a sample line
  • Cited passage (§1, §2…) — points to the exact spot in your book
  • "Mark as fixed" — click it once revised, to track progress

Grouped by the 5 dimensions

Editor detail is grouped by the Editor's 5 dimensions (Story & Structure / Character Depth / Pacing & Tension / Prose Craft / Market Fit), listing each dimension's suggestions beneath it.

How to use it

  1. Clear every Critical first
  2. Then handle Major
  3. Save Minor / Suggestion for the final polish
