Stylebook

[Assistant] Stylebook

The Stylbook is the perfect tool to easily keep all the texts produced within the newsroom consistent. Does your editorial room have rules about how to use hyphens, quotes and other elements? Or perhaps individual rules on how to write certain words? With Stylebook, you don't have to make these changes manually - Stylebook will point them all out and then - if you allow it - make the change.

To see Stylebook in action, you need to log into your Ring Publishing panel and go to this article in the Story Editor.
