CHAPTER 26

Patch a Selected Passage

Revise only a selected passage through a reviewable patch.

  1. Select exactly the passage to change.
  2. State the problem, desired result, and facts that must remain.
  3. Start a polishing or revision task.
  4. Read the candidate and open the before/after diff.
  5. Verify characters, numbers, times, proper nouns, and selection boundaries.
  6. Accept or reject the patch.
  7. After acceptance, wait for Saved and use Undo if necessary.

Reject a candidate that touches text outside the selection, changes facts, or broadens the requested scope; then restate the boundary more precisely.
