Spell Check

How to enable and use spell checking in PaintScout through browser settings and Grammarly

PaintScout does not have a built-in spell checker, but your browser's native spell check works within the platform. Misspelled words appear with a red underline, just like in any other web application. You can also use the Grammarly extension for more advanced checks.

If you do not see the red underline for misspelled words, your browser's spell check may be disabled.
