The Difference Between Editing and Proofreading

An easy way to understand the difference between editing & proofreading is by using the acronyms A.R.M.S. for editing and C.U.P.S. for proofreading. Editing is about “adding, removing, moving & substituting“, a process which is done after the first draft has been completed. Proofreading focuses on “capitalization, usage, punctuation & substituting” and is the final step before publication. The following video further explains the difference between editing and proofreading.

Based on the content in the video, this table summarizes the difference between editing and proofreading:
