A proofreader ensures content is free of typographical, grammatical, spelling, punctuation, syntax, formatting and other such errors. Proofreaders catch spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. They also look at the formatting to make certain all elements are included and appear as they should—spotting things like a sentence appearing twice or accidentally getting omitted, a headline failing to show as bold, or the date missing from a document.
