Sync Workflow:

Step 1 – Respond to HoundAI feedback

You will be invited to a Google Doc that contains HoundAI comments on all sections and images that require an update.

On occasion, this may involve changes to the information architecture of your guide.

Within the interface, you have the option provide a response to each comment When complete, share the document back to sync.hound@docshound.com

Step 2 – Receive updated guide

Your guide will be updated in track changes with HoundAI's suggested revisions. You have the option to accept, delete, and rewrite sections yourself. Once complete, share the document back with commit.hound@docshound.com for your updates to be processed.

At this moment, each DocsHound user receives 1 complementary sync notes per month as we gather data to improve the offering.

End to end processing time can be achieved in a day, mostly dependent on the time it takes you to respond to comments in Step 1. Comments must be provided within the same month of receiving the update.

Tips

Attach Screenshots
