What is the difference between proofreading and editing?

Proofreading is the final step before your marketing material or writing is published. This involves the lightest level of involvement.

The proofing process involves checking and correcting surface errors such as misspelt words, missing or incorrect punctuation, wrong paragraph breaks, incorrect formatting and any other gremlins that might have been missed during the whole editing process. Proofreading does not include any text improvements; it is simply a process of catching overlooked errors before the work gets published or distributed.

Editing (copyediting) is a more intensive process that involves checking for incorrect formatting, construction of sentences, punctuation, factual checks, plagiarism, repetition of words, overall structure and consistency.
