Good to know
Shorten Paragraphs removes filler and simplifies phrasing, then keeps the leading sentences of each paragraph up to your target count, applying the same target across every paragraph. It selects from your existing sentences rather than rewriting them, and preserves the paragraph breaks. Paragraphs with fewer sentences than the target are kept as they are after trimming.
