Copyediting Markup

Copyediting markup refers to the standardized notation added to a manuscript to indicate corrections and changes needed during editing. Using special symbols, abbreviations, or tracked changes, editors show where to insert, delete, or modify text without altering the original document directly. This markup ensures clarity and consistency when revising content, allowing writers and editors to review suggested edits efficiently. Once approved, the markup guides the final clean-up of the document, resulting in a polished, error-free version ready for publication.
