How does it work?

  • The heavy and language edits go through a first round of edits that fix all technical (linguistic) issues. There may be comments, suggestions, and/or questions for the author to address.
  • After the author addresses these comments, a second round of edits takes place. For heavy edit jobs, additional rounds may be necessary.
  • As a proofread is a final reading of a text, it only undergoes one round of editing.
  • All edits are done using the Track Changes feature of Microsoft Word
