Using Antidote in Nexam
How it works
Antidote does not integrate directly with the Nexam answer area, but it can be used via the browser extension.
Select the text in the Nexam writing area
Click the Antidote Web icon in your browser’s extensions bar
Choose the desired tool: Corrector, Dictionary, or Guide
The selected content will open in Antidote in a new tab or window
Important notes
Text is not modified automatically in Nexam: you must review the suggestions and make edits manually in the answer area
The Antidote application does not work directly in Nexam. If using this version, you must copy the text into the application, correct it, then paste it back into Nexam
