Main idea
A formal outline is a structured framework that organizes main ideas and supporting details in a clear hierarchy, often following specific formatting guidelines. It is typically used for finalizing a project or paper, providing a detailed roadmap for the final product. In contrast, a working outline is more flexible and serves as a preliminary tool for brainstorming and organizing thoughts during the early stages of writing. It allows for adjustments and changes as ideas evolve, often lacking the strict formatting of a formal outline.
