What Mentur is and how it can help
Mentur reviews a Word document and organizes the results into clear reports so you know what to check before submitting. You can view the overall status, locate an observation in the document, and read a short explanation without leaving the report.
This guide expands those explanations. Use it when you need to understand why an issue appears, follow a correction step by step, or consult the related academic rule.

A quick workflow for reviewing your document
- Upload the
.docxfile you want to review. - Open the summary to identify the areas with the most observations.
- Go to General format, Paper parts, References, or APA elements.
- Select an issue type to see affected cases and their locations.
- Correct the original file and check other cases of the same type.
- To compare the result, save the document and upload a new version.
To review each case on its page and understand the indicators, read the document viewer guide.
Where to begin
Start with observations shown at the highest attention level and issues that affect several elements. Then review smaller adjustments and cases that require a manual check.
An observation means that something is worth reviewing. Read the context before changing the document because some parts depend on the type of paper or your institution’s instructions. How to read the report explains how to make that decision.
Mentur and the APA guide serve different purposes
The Mentur guide helps you understand the result and correct your file. The APA Style guide develops the rules, concepts, and academic examples. When an observation matches a specific rule, you will find a direct link to that explanation.
