Data pages say "Edited" or "Auto-generated" toward the top to make it apparent if an editor has done a fair amount of editing on the page, or if it is primarily auto-generated by algorithms without significant review. This information is also highlighted in the information we encourage search engines to show.12/26/25 — Improved Vocabulary List page for each book
Vocabulary List pages default to showing sample sentences from the book when all top-ranked words & samples were approved by an editor.
Otherwise, they default to showing exemplary sample sentences (which are more likely to have been reviewed).
If you want a simpler list, you can choose "none" from the "Samples" picklist.
You can toggle between the sample sentences you want to look at. We encourage looking at exemplary sample sentences prior to reading the book and book sentences after reading it.
