Inline Text Editing (Pro)

Text edit suggestions let reviewers propose exact copy changes directly on the page. Instead of describing what to change in a comment (“change the heading to say X”), reviewers can click the text, type the new version, and submit it as a suggestion.

This feature is available on Pro ($79/yr) and Agency ($199/yr) plans.

How It Works

  1. Press T or select the text edit tool from the toolbar.
  2. Hover over the page. Text elements highlight as your cursor moves over them.
  3. Click a text element to enter edit mode. The element becomes editable.
  4. Type your suggested changes directly in the element.
  5. Press Cmd+Enter (Mac) or Ctrl+Enter (Windows) to submit the suggestion.

A pin is created at the edited element, and the suggestion is saved with a diff showing the original and proposed text.

Supported Elements

You can edit any of these text elements:

  • Paragraphs (P)
  • Headings (H1 through H6)
  • Spans (SPAN)
  • Links (A)
  • List items (LI)

If an element is not editable, it will not highlight when you hover over it with the text edit tool active.

The Diff View

After a text edit is submitted, NotedWP displays a diff comparing the original and suggested text:

  • Original text appears with a strikethrough.
  • Suggested text appears highlighted.

This makes it immediately clear what changed and what the reviewer intended.

Accept and Reject Workflow

Only administrators and users with review permissions can accept or reject text edit suggestions. Guests and standard reviewers can submit suggestions but cannot act on them.

  • Accept. The suggestion is marked as approved, and an indicator badge appears on the element.
  • Reject. The suggestion is dismissed, and the original text remains unchanged.

Accepting a suggestion does not automatically update your page content. The badge serves as a visual confirmation that the change was approved, so you can apply it in the WordPress editor at your convenience.

Viewing Text Edits

Open the comments panel and switch to the Text Edits tab. This tab lists all text edit suggestions on the current page, showing the diff for each one along with its status (pending, accepted, or rejected).
