Editing.

What’s the difference between editing and proofreading?

Proofreading is performed on the final draft of a document. It addresses surface-level issues, such as grammatical & punctuation errors, formatting errors, and misspellings. Proofreading has a short turn-around time & does not include extra revisions.

Editing is performed on the first draft of the document. Editing is a collaborative process with the writer, where the overall quality of the writing is improved. Fixes everything proofreading covers plus sentence-structure, overall clarity, and fact-checking. More time-intensive process, includes several revisions.
