Guide and feedback for the review loop.
Start with the concepts that make wowMD different: typed review, cross-version survival, reviewed Markdown for Obsidian, and the ticket you can hand to an AI.
Open Markdown without changing the original
Open local .md or .markdown files by picker or drag-and-drop, or continue from supported public GitHub Markdown through the extension.
Source-safe review happens in the browser and never writes back to the original. Save reviewed copy creates a separate Obsidian-ready .md successor and carries annotations forward.
Version history lets you reopen browser-local successors created from the current document lineage.

Typed review: four judgments, not just colors
When you mark text in wowMD, you record a judgment with an implied action. These types drive the Notes panel, the Overall Review Map, and the Ticket JSON legend.
| Clarify needed | Explain or clarify this point without changing its substance. |
|---|---|
| Disputed | Review this claim; it may be incorrect and may need correction. |
| Important | Keep and emphasize this key point. |
| Confirmed | Reviewed and correct; no action needed. |
Cross-version survival
When the source document changes, wowMD tries to re-anchor your annotations to the same passage using the selected quote and surrounding context. If a passage truly disappears, the mark becomes orphaned and can be recovered manually with Find.
Ticket JSON: your judgments as an AI work order
A ticket bundles the document snapshot, a bilingual type legend, section context, selected quotes, notes, and suggested replacements. It is different from Backup JSON, which stores raw annotations for backup and re-import.

- Open your AI tool of choice.
- Paste the prompt below, then paste the ticket contents.
You are a careful Markdown document editor. I will give you a wowMD Ticket JSON.
Use ticket.document.markdownSnapshot as the only source draft. Read and obey ticket.executionContract, ticket.sections, ticket.confirmedZones, and ticket.lineageOutput when present.
Rules:
1. Process every item in ticket.tickets by id and sequence.
2. Use ticket.typeLegend and ticket.executionContract.typeOperations as the authoritative meaning of each type.
3. Locate each item by headingPath, sectionBody, quote, prefix, and suffix. If a location is ambiguous or missing, leave it unchanged and report it as unresolved.
4. Preserve unannotated content exactly unless ticket.executionContract explicitly allows a supporting local edit.
5. Prefer suggestedReplacement when present. Use note as reviewer intent, not as text to paste unless it clearly asks for wording.
6. If ticket.lineageOutput is present, append the requested wowMD document-meta block at the end. Omit bodyHash unless you can calculate it correctly.
Output:
First output the complete revised Markdown without omitting unchanged sections. Then output a short change list keyed by ticket id and sequence.
Ticket JSON:

Storage, backup, and recovery
Saved annotations and imported GitHub document copies use browser site data, not ordinary browser cache. Local files remain session inputs; wowMD stores their annotations by document fingerprint.
Export Backup JSON for re-importable annotation data, Reviewed Markdown for human-readable review context, and finished delivery artifacts for long-term safekeeping.
Typical workflows

- 02Dispute risks and mark invariants Important
- 03Add notes and suggested replacements
- 04Deliver actions plus a readable review record
- 01Open local Markdown
- 02Mark core ideas, questions, and trusted passages
- 03Save a separate reviewed successor
- 04Move the reviewed copy into the vault
- 01Inspect triggers, tool order, constraints, and fallbacks
- 02Type judgments and propose exact replacements
- 03Find review gaps and conflict-heavy sections

Export

HTML export is for people: one offline-readable file with structure, highlights, and notes.
Reviewed Markdown is for Obsidian: a new .md copy with review callouts, tags, and properties. It does not edit the original or apply suggested replacements.
Backup JSON is for backup and re-import: raw annotation data.
Ticket JSON is for AI or an editor: a work order built from your typed judgments.
Settings

Choose whether the Notes panel slides out on demand or stays visible as a sidebar.
Choose light highlights or underline plus margin notes for annotation display.
Preferences are stored locally in this browser.

Use this section for bugs, confusing wording, missing guide material, or workflow requests.
FAQ and troubleshooting
wowMD re-anchors annotations when the source changes. If a passage cannot be found, use Find from the Notes panel to recover it manually.
No. The review workflow is local-first. Files and annotations stay in your browser unless you export and share them yourself.
No. Saved annotations and imported document copies use browser site data. Export Backup JSON and finished review artifacts before clearing site data or moving to another browser, profile, or device.
Use HTML for people, Reviewed Markdown for Obsidian, Backup JSON to back up or re-import annotation data, and Ticket JSON when you want an AI or editor to act on your typed judgments.
