Polish documents in Writer
Turn a rough draft into clearer, more formal writing without letting AI silently rewrite your file. Review Diff, then approve write-back.
What this page helps with
Use Writer when you need better tone, fewer grammar issues, tighter structure, or a more formal register — for notices, reports, memos, and client letters. Kequan AI proposes edits; you keep the final say.
Recommended path
- Open the document or paste a draft into Writer.
- Select the paragraph or section to improve (or work with the full body for short docs).
- Open Kequan AI or press ⌘/Ctrl+K for inline multi-option edit.
- Ask for polish goals: more formal, shorter, clearer, fix grammar, or keep legal terms unchanged.
- Compare proposals in Diff. Reject anything that invents facts.
- Approve write-back. Spot-check names, dates, amounts, and document numbers.
Useful skills and shortcuts
- Rewrite / formal / concise / expand — selection-based styles that still require approval.
- Content quality checks — consultative findings when there is no write-back block.
- ⌘/Ctrl+K — inline options; Tab approves, Esc rejects.
- Edit memory — store hard constraints such as fixed titles or clause wording.
Trust and safety for formal writing
Official and business text often cannot tolerate silent rewrites. Approve-before-write means the draft sits beside your document until you accept it. Local-first processing keeps sensitive drafts on your machine by default.
What not to expect
- AI will not replace legal or compliance review.
- It may over-smooth style; keep distinctive institutional voice when required.
- Large rewrites need extra human proofreading after write-back.

Will it keep our document number and titles?
Put hard constraints in the prompt or edit memory, then verify after write-back.
Does it work offline?
Editing and local models can work offline; optional cloud models need network.
