Using suggestive editing mode

Slickplan’s suggestive editing mode lets your team propose content changes without directly modifying the original text. It works just like Google Docs — perfect for collaborating on drafts, reviewing updates, or leaving editorial input.

This guide covers:

• How to enable suggestive editing
• What types of blocks support it
• How to review, approve, or reject suggestions
• Tips for working efficiently in suggestive mode

How to turn on suggestive editing

To enter suggestive editing mode:

1. Open a page in the Content Planner
2. In the top-right toolbar, click the Editing dropdown
3. Select Suggesting

You’ll now see visual highlights for any changes made — additions, deletions, and comments will display in the right-hand collaboration panel.

How it works

While in Suggesting mode, you can edit any block that supports text:

• Plain text blocks
• Rich text blocks
• Notes blocks

Changes appear visually with color indicators:

• Added text → Green background
• Deleted text → Red strikethrough
• Edit cards → Appear in the right-hand panel (with your avatar)

Reviewing and managing suggestions

Use the right-hand panel to manage each edit:

• Click the checkmark to accept
• Click the X to reject
• Or use the toolbar at the top to Accept all or Reject all

Optional: Hide suggestions while editing

Need a clean workspace? You can hide all tracked suggestions using the Hide icon:

1. Hover over the right-hand panel
2. Click the Hide icon
3. Toggle again to show suggestions

Exiting suggestive editing

To return to regular editing mode:

1. Click the Suggesting dropdown in the top-right
2. Select Editing

You’ll now be able to make direct changes without leaving a suggestion card.
