DigitalJournal.com Tip #13: Checking your article's revisions

When you or Digital Journal editors edit your articles, you can find out what was changed and when the edits were made. A Revision tab is situated at the bottom of each edited article, next to the comment section. This tab displays what was edited, showing crossed-out phrases and the added words or punctuation. It's a useful tool to find out what mistakes were made, whether it was in the body or headline or intro. It could be a matter of knowing the difference between "its" and "it's" or a more serious matter such as misspelling someone's surname.

Digital Journalists can check revisions done on their own articles, but not on any other posts. Blogs don't have Revision tabs. So check your Revisions a few moments after you activate articles in order to find out how to improve your writing. It could be the difference between "its" and "it's" or the misspelling of a product. Or it could be stylistic, like learning how to transition from a quote to an explanatory paragraph.
