Plagx Draft Preflight adds a Draft Preflight panel to the content edit form. Click Check draft to review your text before you publish:
- 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) with no entry in the 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, "a" / "an", sentence capitals and common word confusions, with optional passive-voice hints.
It works with CKEditor 5 and plain text fields on every content type. All checks run in the browser: the module makes no external requests, sends no data anywhere and adds nothing to the public site. All results are automated suggestions.
Requirements
Drupal 10.3 or later, or Drupal 11. No other modules or libraries.
Configuration
Set default word limits, citation style and checks at Configuration → Content authoring → Draft Preflight.
