• Grammar: Ensuring proper sentence structure, verb tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and other grammatical elements.
• Punctuation: Correcting errors in the use of commas, periods, quotation marks, colons, semicolons, etc.
• Formatting: Ensuring that the text follows the required formatting style, such as font type, size, line spacing, margins, and alignment.
• Consistency: Checking for consistent use of terminology, names, dates, and other details.
• Typographical Errors: Correcting any errors in typing, such as repeated words or letters, and ensuring proper spacing.
