Includes:

• Correcting spelling, punctuation, grammar, and typographical errors

• Ensuring consistency in formatting, layout, headers, tables, figures, and references

• Checking alignment with style guides or institutional requirements

• Identifying missing elements (captions, citations, headings)

• Final presentation checks for professional polish
