Configuring spell check

Jive checks spelling when users create and edit content. As a community manager, you can customize the spell check feature by using the Admin Console.

The spell checker uses the main dictionary you specify for all content in the community. Consider using a technical dictionary if your community creates content with terms from a specific industry.

Additionally, you can add words to your custom dictionary, so that words commonly used in your community (such as jargon or product names) won't be marked as misspelled.

To configure spell check:

1. Go to the configuration page:
   • Admin Console > Content > Spell Check
   • Advanced Admin Console > System > Settings > Spell Check
2. In Main Dictionary, specify the main dictionary for your community.
3. Under Include Technical Dictionary?, decide if you want to add a technical dictionary.
4. If required, under Custom Dictionary, specify a comma-delimited list of words which you want to add to dictionary, and then click Add.

   Custom words are listed under Current Custom Dictionary. You can remove the any word if, for example, it has been mistakenly added.
