Click the New text tile (A) to open the corrector in a new tab or to clear the existing text from the corrector and start over with a blank slate.

Click the tile adjacent to the first (B) to retrieve the most recent text saved by Antidote Web (except with an organizational subscription); older texts appear beside the most recent in chronological order. Recently analyzed texts are kept for eight hours.

Take note of the countdown highlighted in blue in the upper right-hand corner of each recent-text tile (C). The time, in hours and minutes, beside the alarm clock icon indicates how long you have left until that text is no longer available for retrieval.

Important — Text transmitted from locally installed software to Antidote Web through its connectors will also be saved as a recent text. However, the link between the software and Antidote Web will not be restored along with the text, if you decide to retrieve it.
