# Review a skill's changes

> Work through a finished pass change by change, keep what earns its place, reopen a review you left, and see what a pass changed in History.

A finished pass is a set of proposals, not a set of edits. Reviewing them is the same motion whether one skill proposed three changes in a scene or thirty across an act.

![A finished pass under review: each change marked in place (1), its own Accept and Reject beside the one you are reading (2), the bar (3) that steps between changes and takes or dismisses the remainder together, and the pass in the Skills tab (4) with the list of what it proposed.](https://www.inkwell.software/help/changes-view.light.webp)

1. **Open the pass**

   When a pass finishes, its changes are already on the page. If you closed the review or came back later, open the Skills tab and select the pass — **Review** puts the markup back on the page.

2. **Step through the changes**

   `⌃⇧N` / `Ctrl+Shift+N` moves to the next proposed change; `⌃⇧P` / `Ctrl+Shift+P` goes back. The page scrolls so the change is in view, with the old text struck through and the new text underlined.

3. **Decide each one**

   **Accept** takes the new text; **Reject** keeps yours. You can also edit an accepted change straight away — it is ordinary text again.

4. **Decide the rest together**

   Once you trust the pass, **Accept all** takes every remaining change; **Reject all** dismisses them. Either way, the pass stays in the Skills tab with a record of what you chose.

5. **Make a save point**

   Press `⌘⇧S` / `Ctrl+Shift+S` and name it for the pass. In History, comparing this save point with the one before shows exactly what the skill changed and what you kept.

> **Note: A report instead of changes**
>
> [Script Coverage](https://www.inkwell.software/skills/coverage) and [Continuity Check](https://www.inkwell.software/skills/continuity-check) return a report rather than markup. Their findings appear in the Skills tab with a link to each scene they mention; nothing on the page changes until you act on a finding yourself.

## What next

- [Read the changes a skill proposes](https://www.inkwell.software/help/getting-started/read-the-changes): Move through proposed changes one at a time, accept or reject each in place, and make a save point that records what you kept.
- [Changes and markup](https://www.inkwell.software/help/version-control/changes-and-markup): How Plot shows the difference between two versions: by scene and by line, on the page, with the same accept-or-reject reading whether a person or a skill made the change.
- [The skills library](https://www.inkwell.software/help/ai/the-skills-library): What a skill is, what each of the built-in skills does, where their results live, and how to add skills of your own.
