  1. Is this still available? I can’t find it. It is a nice idea and I think that more sites/apps should implement it. However, till then I should improve my writing skills which aren’t the best. This is why I always use the Cambridge Proofreading promo code as is the only proofreading service that met my expectations. I like that they do quality work and deliver the work always on time, I never had a problem with them.

    1. Hi Donna,

      Thank you for your question. Koken is still available, however some key features are no longer supported.

  2. Hi, can you advice how to change an essay into a page and vice versa?

    Also is there a way to place a topic list on a side of the page on Koken (the way some WordPress blogs have it)? I’m using Chastain theme.

    1. I could not find a built-in way to change between essays and pages. But, you should be able to just open the essay and copy the content, then create a page and paste the content.

      You will have to actually customize a theme to add a “Navigation Group.” See more in the official Koken help documentation.

      Thank you,
      John-Paul
