Core Platform
Welcome to the Core Platform!
The Core Platform is the heart of Acrolinx. It’s the central part of the Acrolinx package that helps you produce great content that's aligned with your goals and brand. It includes a Dashboard that opens in your Browser, and a Sidebar for your writers to use wherever they create content. The Dashboard is where you manage the whole Acrolinx process, from users to Terminology. What’s more, it also equips you with a powerful analysis tool: Acrolinx Analytics. The Acrolinx Sidebar works in combination with an Acrolinx Integration to let you check content wherever you create it. When a writer has an Acrolinx Integration installed, they’re asked to sign in to Acrolinx and will get the Sidebar in return. Each Acrolinx system is set up by Acrolinx consultants. You can always refer to your customer success manager for help and further consulting. But if you’ve forgotten a detail, or want to reread the steps, then read on in Acrolinx Walkthrough - Explore the Essentials.
