  Hi there. The new editor does not have that feature. It also does not have proofreading, nor the writing helper. To access any of those features you’ll need to use the classic editor.

  That’s a bummer. Oh well. It’s the simple things sometimes that make a huge difference. I hope they add it. Until, give me “Classic Coke.” :)
