===Vs. proofreading=== * Copy editing: As mentioned, copy editing focuses on improving the content's clarity, coherence, and consistency. It ensures that the text adheres to a particular style guide and is free from factual errors. * Proofreading: This is the final step in the editing process. Proofreading involves checking the text for typographical errors, missed grammatical mistakes, and formatting inconsistencies. It is the last line of defense before the content is published, and attempts to ensure that no minor errors slip through.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-09-06 |title=Copy Editing vs. Proofreading: What's the Difference? |url=https://www.grammarly.com/blog/whats-the-difference-between-copy-editing-and-proofreading/ |access-date=2023-10-18 |website=Grammarly |first1=Jennifer |last1=Calonia |language=en}}</ref>
