Edit copy.

Editing should include

• formatting the document for accessibility
• reviewing punctuation
• applying editing technology as appropriate (e.g., Track Changes, grammar software tools, spell check)
• recognizing benefits of proofreading in addition to using spell check (e.g., to correct “Think you” when what is meant is “Thank you”)
• reviewing copy using proofreaders’ marks
• finalizing the draft.
