PRACTICE BRIEF
Rewrite the sentence 'This workflow may reduce manual formatting for approved drafts' in a concise brand voice. Reject 'Never format content again' because it changes the claim. A faithful alternative is 'Spend less time formatting approved drafts.' Keep the qualifier if the evidence depends on it.
