Proofreading is the process of carefully reviewing written text to identify and correct errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, formatting, and consistency before final publication. Editors, writers, students, and professionals across many fields perform this final quality-control step to ensure clarity and polish in documents ranging from academic papers to marketing copy. It differs from copyediting in that it focuses on surface-level correctness rather than substantive content changes.
