Answer 1

Revising is the process of “seeing again” the whole paper and making a fresh start so you could look at it from critical perspective in light of improvement. It’s an ongoing process of rethinking and reconsidering your arguments, reviewing your evidence, refining your purpose etc. The steps as parts of revising would be: check that you did not contradict your thesis; check that your ideas flow in a logical order; check that the topic is on target; check that you provided enough evidence.

Proofreading is a process of careful reading to detect if paper has any errors in spelling, punctuation, or grammar. The steps as parts of proofreading would be: check for the use of proper punctuation; check for misspelled words; check for run-on sentences
