Proofreading is the process of reviewing and checking a text for any errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, formatting, and consistency. It’s the final step in the writing process, ensuring that the document is clear, accurate, and error-free before it’s published or submitted. Proofreading helps to catch any small mistakes that might have been overlooked during writing or editing. It’s different from editing, which involves larger changes to the structure or content of a document.
