This test checks the setting for policy 'Improve Proofing Tools' for Microsoft Office 2013 on Windows hosts. It controls whether the Help Improve Proofing Tools feature sends usage data to Microsoft and collects data about use of the Proofing Tools, such as additions to the custom dictionary, and sends it to Microsoft. After about six months, the feature stops sending data to Microsoft and deletes the data collection file from the user's computer
