Reviewing a draft is easier when you separate three questions: What does it say? Is it supported? Does the writing suit its purpose? A detection result can add context, but it cannot answer all three for you.
Start with the rules for your assignment, client or workplace. Use only the tools permitted for that work and keep a record of any assistance you use.
Preserve the Original
Save a copy of your draft before changing it. Keep your notes, source links and earlier versions in a place you control.
AIScan history saves completed tool input and output. It does not keep a full version history of every change you make in your own editor. Your original files remain an important part of the review.
Scan a Complete Passage
Choose a section with enough context to make sense on its own. Submit it to the AI Text Detector, then read the result alongside the original text.
If you are unfamiliar with the score and passage-level report, start with How to Read Your AIScan Result. Look at what was submitted before drawing any conclusion from the number.
Review Flagged Passages
When a passage is flagged, return to its place in the draft. Ask concrete questions:
- Does this sentence express the point I intended?
- Is the claim supported by a source I have actually checked?
- Have I identified quotations and borrowed ideas properly?
- Does the passage connect clearly with the argument around it?
These questions remain useful whether the score is high or low. A detector’s result does not establish who wrote the work.
Compare an Optional Rewrite
If rewriting assistance is permitted, Humanizer can offer different wording. It requires Pro access. Use it for a passage you understand, then compare its output with your original.
Keep only the changes that preserve your intended meaning. Check names, numbers, qualifications and technical terms again after a rewrite. See Review a Rewrite Before Using It for a practical checklist.
Verify Claims and Sources
Open the original source for every important claim. Confirm that it supports what you are saying, rather than relying only on a title, excerpt or earlier note.
Review quotations, author names, publication details and any required references yourself. Clear phrasing and a low detection score do not verify a source or make a factual statement correct.
Review the Final Draft
Read the entire draft once more in your own editor. Check the argument, transitions, tone and any disclosure requirements. Keep the versions and notes you may need to explain your process.
Use Scan History to revisit saved tool results or export a record. Signed-in history is account-based; guest history stays in that browser. iPhone versions with Account sign-in share recent results with the same AIScan account. Deletions appear on other signed-in devices when they refresh or reconnect.
