Write where Grammarly is installed
Grammarly works in browser extensions, Windows/Mac apps, mobile keyboards, and the Editor/docs. Suggestions appear in context—no copy-paste loop for supported apps.
Understand underline colors
Red underlines flag grammar, spelling, and critical word-choice issues. On paid plans, blue underlines suggest clarity, engagement, and delivery improvements.
Highlight for generative AI
Select text, click the pencil or lightbulb icon, and choose a prompt or type your own. Paragraph-level rewrites work best on focused selections.
Use Rewrite in my voice
Grammarly builds a voice profile from your writing. Highlight text, choose Rewrite in my voice, and insert or rephrase from there.
Pick the right agent in docs
AI Chat for brainstorming; Paraphraser for style presets; Humanizer for natural-sounding AI text; Grammarly agent for categorized full-document review.
Create shared custom voices
Name a voice, add writing examples, and use it in both Paraphraser and Humanizer. Delete voices you no longer need.
Set goals before you draft
Audience, formality, and domain settings steer suggestions. Adjust them when switching from, say, a blog post to a legal email.
Protect must-keep facts
Grammarly improves writing—it does not verify truth. State which dates, numbers, names, and claims must appear verbatim before rewriting.
Review Paraphraser suggestions individually
Paragraph rewrites appear on the left panel overlaid on your text. Accept, dismiss, or undo each edit—you stay in control.
Humanize AI drafts before sending
Humanizer targets robotic phrasing in AI-generated emails, proposals, and posts. Hover left-side bars for specific edit hints.
Use AI Chat for structure
Ask AI Chat for outlines, subject lines, or first drafts, then paste into docs and run inline Grammarly plus agents for polish.
Iterate with targeted follow-ups
After a rewrite, use Rephrase or a new prompt on the same highlight instead of restarting the whole document.
Check team admin settings
Enterprise, Business, and Education admins enable docs, agents, and paragraph rewrites on Feature access and Agent access pages.
Do not confuse clarity with accuracy
A clearer sentence can still be wrong factually. Verify numbers, policies, and quotes yourself after Grammarly edits.
