Copy edits directly on the website

For copywriters and translators who want to leave corrections in the real layout, not in a Word file.

In short

You mark the passage on the page and write the new version right next to it. Because you see the copy in the finished layout, overlong headlines, bad line breaks and clipped buttons show up immediately – things a document hides.

Typical problems this removes

  • Copy changes in Word documents
  • Unclear which passage is meant
  • Corrections lost during implementation
  • Translations break the layout and nobody notices beforehand
  • No record of which version was finally approved

Why isn't a Word document enough for copy corrections?

A document shows text in isolation, not in the line length, spacing or width it will actually appear in. Only in the layout do you see whether a headline wraps or a button label gets clipped. nootiz shows you the correction exactly where it takes effect.

How do you mark exactly which passage you mean?

You click directly on the paragraph, headline or button text and write the new version as a note right there. That removes the need to describe “the second paragraph on the homepage, third sentence” – the note itself shows where it belongs.

How do you spot a translation breaking the layout?

Longer languages such as German or French often need more space than the English original. In the real layout, you immediately see when a translated button label wraps or a navigation gets too wide, and can adjust the wording on the spot.

How do you make sure a correction doesn't get lost during implementation?

The note stays open until someone actually implements it and marks it done. That way no correction disappears between the document, an email and the CMS – it's only gone once it's visibly resolved.

How do you work on multilingual pages with several translators?

Each translator comments on the language version they own, directly on that URL. Because every note stores its author and location, you can trace which correction belongs to which language version, even with several people working in parallel.

How do you sign off on a final copy version?

Once every correction note on a page is marked done, the copy counts as finally approved. That list stays as a record of what was requested and implemented, so you never have to compare Word files named “final_v3” again.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need technical skills?

No. You click the text and write your correction.

Can I manage corrections for several language versions separately?

Yes, each language version has its own URL, and notes stay assigned accordingly.

Can I see whether a correction has already been implemented?

Yes, every note shows its status from open to done.

Does this work for copy managed in a CMS instead of in code?

Yes, the note refers to the visible spot on the page, regardless of how the text is technically managed.

How do I avoid mixing up several text versions?

Since the note is attached directly to the text, there are no separate file versions to mix up.
