Please open an article asset to proceed” when the article is empty. However, when you begin drafting content, a green Analyze Page button will appear (as seen below).
Ensure you have selected the appropriate workspace and tone prior to analyzing your content. In the top right corner, you will see two drop down selectors. The first indicates which workspace you are working within (ex. Your company’s name or corresponding team). The second indicates which tone you’d like to be applied to your outputs.
