Dropping passive voice helps most writing, but

> "content will be synced" -> "content is synced"

FYI that's still passive voice.

To quickly determine passive vs. active voice, you can add the phrase, “by zombies” to the end of the sentence.

If it’s clear the zombies are doing the action (subject), then the content is passive voice. Otherwise, if the zombies are an adverbial phrase, the sentence is in active voice.

Passive voice: “Content is synced by zombies”

Active voice: “NotesHub syncs the content by zombies”

"Thanks" for making me spit my coffee, that's hilarious but awesome; I will be using it in the future. :-D

Amazing. Active vs passive confuses so many folks.

Great three part series on that topic and others:
