Analyze Mode lets you see what is actually inside a piece of text before you change anything. This post explains how to use it and how to read the results. I treat it as a diagnostic step, not a fix, since inspecting text and cleaning text are two different jobs.
Analyze Mode scans the text and reports back what it finds: zero-width characters, unusual whitespace, mismatched quote styles, and a few other patterns that are invisible in a normal editor. It does not change anything on its own. That separation matters, since seeing a marker and deciding what to do about it are different steps.
Using Analyze Mode
Analyze mode is most useful when you want to understand a document before changing it. I prefer inspection before cleanup because it gives me a baseline and reduces the risk of deleting something that turns out to be meaningful.
A Practical Checklist
| Stage | My check |

| Original | Keep an untouched copy before making changes. |
| Technical | Inspect characters, whitespace, encoding, and formatting. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Analyze Mode modify my text?
No. It only reports findings. You choose what to clean afterward in a separate step.
What kinds of markers does it detect?
Mainly zero-width characters, non-standard whitespace, and mixed quote or dash styles that are hard to spot by eye.
Should I run it on every document?
It is most useful on text copied from a chat interface or another AI tool, where hidden characters are more likely to appear.
Final Thoughts
Inspecting text before you clean it gives you a clearer picture of what actually needs fixing. Analyze Mode is that inspection step, and treating it as separate from cleanup keeps the process predictable.
