What's the best way to run my first content check?
I've successfully uploaded my brand guide and the extraction looks good. Now I want to run my first content check.
Should I start with text or images? Any tips for getting the most out of my first analysis?

Great question! Here's what I recommend for your first check:
Start Simple:
Try a short piece of text first - like an email subject line or social media post. This helps you understand the scoring system without overwhelming detail.
- Go to Analyze in your dashboard
- Select your brand guideline
- Paste a short piece of content (1-2 sentences)
- Click "Check Palette"
- Review the score and any violations
- A longer piece (blog intro, email body)
- An image (upload a social graphic)
- Something you know has issues (to see how violations are flagged)
Pro Tip: Try checking something you recently published. It's interesting to see how existing content scores!
