One click, and you can send whatever you're working on (Christmas letter, cold email to a potential customer, blog post, etc.) to a staff of reviewers to get suggested edits.Audio/Video Transcription Tools- You can transcribe Youtube and Vimeo videos. Or file types like .mp4/.flv or .mp3/.m4a/.aac.

When you publish to your WebHook, Draft will send your application a JSON payload of your document.Analytics- reports tell you how many Tweets on average your published writing is getting, broken up by various data points: when you published, what day, post length, and reading level. And you can see what attribute is outperforming others.Comments- Comments are context aware. If you quote text from your document you'll see it underlined in your comment.
