Fix a typo in an image

One mistake, one changed line

To fix a typo in an image that may already be approved, touch as little as possible. Each changed line is redrawn, and an icon, a divider line or a price sitting right next to it can shift with it. Correcting a single line leaves the other headings, prices and icons out of the edit.

Detected text is listed line by line, not word by word. A phrase that wraps onto a second line, or a hyphenated word split across two lines, can appear as two entries; if it does, correct the part in each. If the same misspelling appears in two places, such as a headline and a footer, each place has its own entry and needs its own correction. One edit can include both.

Typos that change the length of a line

Swapping one wrong letter for another keeps the line the same length, which is the simplest case. Other typos make the corrected line longer or shorter. Those need a closer look afterward, including whether the line still aligns with the text around it:

• A missing letter or word makes the line longer, so the letters may sit a little tighter to fit the same space.
• A doubled word, such as "the the", makes it shorter, and the background around the gap guides how it is filled.
• A number with more or fewer digits, such as a time or a phone number on your own flyer, changes the width too.

Proofread before you apply

Each attempt uses credits, and a mistake in the Replacement field will appear in the image. Before you select Apply changes, check the Replacement field for these:

• Spelling copied from the approved text, not typed from memory.
• Autocorrect on your device, which can swap in a different word while you type.
• Apostrophes, hyphens and quotation marks in the same style as the rest of the design.
• Characters that look alike, such as 0 and O or 5 and S, in times, prices and phone numbers.
• Accented letters in names and places, such as é or ñ.

Small print and the final check

Typos are easy to miss in the smallest text: a footer, a caption or the fine print under a price. Small lines can also be missed or misread by detection. If the line with the typo is missing from the list, add it with Add text: the Original is the line as it appears in the image, with the error, and the Replacement is the corrected line.

After applying, compare the corrected word with the words beside it. If it looks heavier, lighter or differently spaced, make sure the Original entry was an exact match for the image, then try again with High quality.
