How book rules apply - Margent Help

Each rule records a specific Narration heard → Manuscript pair that you have accepted for this book. It does not accept every similar phrase or pronunciation.

What to check	Why it matters
Wording	Check the full phrase on both sides. A different phrase may need a separate decision.
Punctuation and accents	Review these in the saved pair if an expected match is still flagged.
Direction	Put the transcribed narration under Narration heard and the book text under Manuscript.

Example

A rule for “street lamps” under Narration heard and “streetlamps” under Manuscript accepts that reading for this book. If Margent flags a related phrase, listen to the audio before deciding whether it also needs a rule.

Both sides need text

You cannot create an equivalence rule with a blank narration or manuscript value. Apparent additions and omissions can still be resolved as no change needed without saving a rule.

Existing decisions stay decided

Editing or removing a rule changes future proofing. It does not reopen findings you already completed. Manage the rule and reopen a completed finding separately when needed.
