Tips
- Spellproof is the book shaped icon

Spellproof runs through a collection of rules to detect misspelt and misused words, providing suggestions based on the context of the sentence.
The three kinds of suggestions provided by Spellproof are:
- Spelling errors - Denoted by a red underline
- Grammar errors - Denoted by a green underline
Style errors - Denoted by a yellow underline
Spellproof also provides a 'Suggestions Assistant' as a red circle in the Jira Editor window. It shows the number of outstanding suggestions on a Jira issue.
Clicking on the Suggestions Assistant will automatically take you to the next suggestion. This helps with quick visibility and navigation between errors, especially on lengthy Jira issues.
