What is the difference between 'edited' and 'proofread'?
Proofreading focuses on catching surface errors such as spelling, punctuation, and typos in a near-final text. Editing is broader and can change wording, structure, and clarity, so an 'edited' text has usually been improved beyond simple error-checking.
What is the difference between 'edited' and 'unedited'?
'Edited' material has been changed or revised from its original form, while 'unedited' material remains exactly as it was first created or recorded. Unedited content is the raw version before any cuts, corrections, or improvements are made.
