Plagx Draft Preflight adds a Draft Preflight box to the post and page editor. Click Check draft and it reviews what you have written so far:

  • Length and structure: word, sentence and paragraph counts, reading time, word limits, long sentences and long paragraphs.
  • Citations and reference list: in-text citations such as (Smith, 2020) that have no entry in your References section, and references that are never cited. APA and MLA.
  • Punctuation: unmatched quotes and brackets, double spaces and spacing around punctuation.
  • Basic grammar: repeated words (“the the”), “a” / “an”, sentence capitals and common word confusions. Passive-voice hints are available as an option.

It works in the block editor and the classic editor, for posts, pages and any post type that uses the editor.

All results are automated suggestions. Draft Preflight checks structure, references, punctuation and basic grammar. It does not check originality or AI-generated text.
