Wikipedia
Proofreading means reading (activity) reading a proof copy of a text in order to detect and correct any errors. A proof copy is traditionally a version of a manuscript that has been typesettingtypeset after copy editing, but the line between copy editing and proofreading is thin. Proof manuscripts often contain typographytypographical errors introduced during typesetting by mistyping (hence the word "typo" to refer to misplaced or incorrect characters). Earlier, when handwritinghandwritten originals were common, it was often easier for a copy editor to review and mark up a manuscript after it had been typeset. Today, proofreading usually refers to reviewing any text, hardcopy or electronic copy (on a computer), and checking for all types of errors.
