About Revision Session Marks

You revise plain prose and want a separate review showing changes since a saved writing baseline.

Save your draft before a writing session, then edit the same note. Revision Session Marks compares the texts and writes a separate CriticMarkup review.

Save a prose baseline and make a marked review after an edit

Free features

Save one writing baseline

Save the active editor text and file path as a baseline. It remains in plugin data after a restart.

Saved baseline text for a sample draft. — Open larger

Create a CriticMarkup review

Compare your current text against the saved baseline. A new review note shows additions, deletions and substitutions without rewriting the source.

Check both restored texts

The plugin checks both interpretations of the generated marks. Accept must reproduce the final text, and reject must reproduce the baseline.

Whole Greek word replacements with two passed restore checks. — Open larger

Keep the baseline when input is unsupported

Unsupported prose or a comparison limit stops output and keeps the baseline. Equal texts also keep the baseline.

An unsupported final input message beside the retained baseline. — Open larger

The free version keeps one active writing baseline; named baselines and folder reviews need Pro.

Pro features

Pro costs $5 a month or $15 one time through GitHub Sponsors. One sponsorship turns on Pro in every plugin that has it.

Keep named baselines for several notes Pro

Keep up to 50 named baselines for several notes. Named reviews retain the saved baselines for later comparisons.

Named first draft baselines for two sample notes. — Open larger

Create folder review copies Pro

Create separate reviews for matching named baselines in the active note’s direct folder. The command skips subfolders.

Separate review copies created for two drafts. — Open larger

Add author labels and a change summary Pro

Add an author label and a summary of mark counts. The label identifies this comparison rather than individual keystrokes.

An author comment and a count of substitution marks. — Open larger

Questions about Revision Session Marks

Does a review change my draft?

A review is a new Markdown file. The source note keeps its current text.

Can I review a renamed note?

A rename invalidates the saved baseline. Discard the invalid free session before starting another.

Can I start another free session immediately?

One free baseline can be active at a time. Stop or discard it before starting another.

What does the summary count?

The Pro summary counts addition, deletion and substitution marks. It does not count changed words.
