Foldly
1
Put the working draft in Original
Keep the main draft in the editable original column so the final version grows in one place.
workflow guide
Compare three rewrite options before you commit to one
Sometimes version A has the right structure, version B has the stronger tone, and version C fixes awkward wording. Foldly is useful here because you can keep the original draft visible while lining up several alternatives and pulling the best decisions into one final text.

How to do it in Foldly
2
Add rewrite options as comparisons
Open or paste each alternative into its own comparison column. On Mac you can view up to three comparisons at once.
3
Check where each rewrite improves the text
Use highlighted differences to judge which version improves tone, clarity, or structure for each section.
4
Synthesize the final draft
Edit the original column with the best lines from each option instead of picking one rewrite wholesale.
Decision criteria to use
Before you choose a line, decide what you are optimizing for.
- Clarity for a first-time reader
- Tone consistency with the rest of the piece
- Whether a rewrite removed useful detail
Why three-way review is different
A three-way comparison is less about spotting a single diff and more about evaluating tradeoffs across options.
- One version may be shorter but flatter
- Another may improve rhythm but change meaning
- The best final draft often combines pieces from each
Example scenario
Headline rewrite selection
A marketer reviews three headline rewrites from teammates while keeping the original draft open.
Outcome: They keep the structure from one version, the verb choice from another, and produce a final headline set with clearer differentiation.
Limits and caveats
- iPad shows fewer columns than Mac, so you may need to review options in two passes on smaller screens.
- If too many options are weakly differentiated, do not keep adding more pages or versions; narrow the set to meaningful alternatives.

FAQ
Can I compare all rewrite options at once on iPad?
Not always. iPad portrait shows two total columns and landscape supports up to three total columns, so Mac is better for larger comparison sets.
Should I create a page for every rewrite count?
No. The useful page is the workflow itself, not a separate SEO page for every number of versions.
