Revise Any Recap, Exactly the Way You Want It
April 21, 2026
Not every game calls for the same kind of recap.
Some nights, the biggest story is a second-half comeback. Other times, it’s a milestone performance, a rivalry win, or a defensive battle that deserves a different tone and structure than a standard game story.
Your editorial judgment has always made for great game recaps. You know when a recap needs to be shorter, sharper, more energetic, or more focused on the moment that defined the game.
That’s why we created Draft Modifications inside FanWord Assist — a new feature that gives you direct control over any individual recap after the drafts are generated. Instead of rewriting the story manually or starting over, you can tell the platform exactly what to adjust and get a revised version back in seconds.
FanWord Assist is built to get you 90% of the way there in 10% of the time. Draft Modifications makes it easier to handle the edge cases, preferences, and game-specific nuances that come up across a season.
How It Works
After FanWord Assist generates your recap, you’ll find the Draft Modifications input available inside that individual draft. Enter your revision instructions and Assist will apply it to that recap.
A few examples of what you can ask:
- Make this recap shorter
- Tighten the lede
- Emphasize the second-half comeback more clearly
- Make the tone more energetic
The instructions work best when they’re specific and practical. The more clearly you describe what you want, the better the result.
A Quick Note on How to Use Modifications:
Draft Modifications are built to improve how a recap is written: the tone, structure, emphasis, clarity, and formatting. They’re not designed to introduce new information, simply to shape and refine what’s already there.
Even More Editorial Control for Your Department
FanWord Assist already gives you Editorial Guidelines — a way to define style preferences that apply automatically to every future game recap at the team or department level. If your department has a specific tone, a preferred sentence structure, or standard formatting rules, Editorial Guidelines are where those live.
Draft Modifications work differently. They’re scoped to a single game recap. One draft, one instruction, one revision. Consequently, if you find yourself entering the same Draft Modification after every game, that’s a signal to move that instruction into Editorial Guidelines instead.
