    Use New File to open a blank draft from anywhere in the workspace.

  3. Write something! Now, write a paragraph or two. Choose a topic you already know about. This makes it easier. It could be about your favorite hobby, a recent movie, or something that happened today. Don’t worry about perfection. Just write! Around 50-100 words is perfect.

  4. Find the Writing Coach. Look for the Writing Coach panel on the right-hand side of the screen. If it is collapsed, use the coach button to open it. Give Clarus a moment to analyze what you wrote.

  5. Explore your suggestions. The Writing Coach will now display feedback on your writing. You'll likely see multiple suggestions. Choose the very first suggestion presented.

    Read the suggestion carefully. It explains what the tool noticed in your writing. Consider how you might apply it.
