There are several different kinds of edits, depending on the category of the material.

  • When confirming facts, this kind of edit is sometimes called a 'red check'
  • When choosing a sequence for presenting concepts, such as in a text book, this kind of edit may be called a 'structural edit'
  • When determining whether or not the material is substantially original, this kind of edit may be called a 'copyright edit'
  • When stabilizing the 'voice' or point of view of a piece, this kind of edit may be called a 'rewrite' or a 'heavy edit' or by some other term, depending on the editor's venue.
Proofreading generally corrects grammar, punctuation, and conformation to the style guide in use by the publisher.

Types and kinds of edits are known by all kinds of different names, since there is no editorial standard that exists across all categories of publishing.
