Highlighting for transition words is reversed.

    When highlighting long sentences, or passive voice, the highlight marks the problem sentences.

    For sentences that need a transition word, the highlighting is reversed. It would be far more helpful and consistent if the highlighting showed the problem sentences (the ones that need a transition) as it does for other things.

    Also, the tools tips could tell you what clicking the eye icon will do. I had to find a video that even told me which way this one works.

    Hello Luke,

    Thanks for reaching out about the eye marker feature, and I’m sorry you weren’t clear on what the tool does.

    However, do you mean that for transition words, you do not know what sentences need transition words? Can you please tell us what you mean by the ‘highlighting is reversed’?

    If I have a long sentence and click the eye for that, the highlight marks the sentence I need to fix.

    If I have a passive sentence and click on the eye that, it also highlights the sentence I need to fix.

    If I have a sentence that does not have a transition word and I click the eye for that, it does NOT highlight the sentence I need to fix. It highlights the sentences that are good.

    I expect that every time I click on an eye, the sentences I need to fix will be highlighted.

    Hey Luke,

    Thank you for that feedback, you’re actually right that this is how that check works and has worked in the past. I’ll push your feedback to our lingo team to see if that could be reversed, but I have a strong feeling that there is a good reason why they have it this way.

    In any case, I’ll make sure that your feedback is seen. Thank you.
