How to read a Mentur report and decide what to fix first

What an observation means

An observation identifies an excerpt, part, or element that is worth comparing with the expected result. Do not change the document based only on a color or case count. Open the issue, read what was found, and check the evidence in context.

How to decide what to fix first

Start with higher-attention issues and those repeated across several pages. One style correction may resolve several cases when paragraphs share the same setting. Then review warnings and smaller adjustments.

How to use the issue information

• What we found explains why the observation appears.
• How to fix it describes the change and, when available, shows an expected result.
• APA criterion summarizes the related rule and opens the full guide.
• View in document takes you to the evidence available for that case.

The document viewer guide explains how to navigate markers, switch review modes, and read the details without losing your location.

When a clear location is unavailable, review the criterion directly in the file. Do not assume the entire document is wrong because one case needs a manual check. The guide to cases that require a manual check explains how to handle these results.

How to check a correction

Read the complete element again, not only the highlighted word or line. Review other cases of the same type and confirm that the change did not affect a valid exception. To measure progress, save the corrected file and upload a new version.
