How to Edit Your Own Writing

Writing is hard, but don’t overlook the difficulty — and the importance — of editing your own work before letting others see it. Here’s how.

By Harry Guinness

The secret to good writing is good editing. It’s what separates hastily written, randomly punctuated, incoherent rants from learned polemics and op-eds, and cringe-worthy fan fiction from a critically acclaimed novel. By the time this article is done, I’ll have edited and rewritten each line at least a few times. Here’s how to start editing your own work.

Understand that what you write first is a draft

It doesn’t matter how good you think you are as a writer — the first words you put on the page are a first draft. Writing is thinking: It’s rare that you’ll know exactly what you’re going to say before you say it. At the end, you need, at the very least, to go back through the draft, tidy everything up and make sure the introduction you wrote at the start matches what you eventually said.

My former writing teacher, the essayist and cartoonist Timothy Kreider, explained revision to me: “One of my favorite phrases is l’esprit d’escalier, ‘the spirit of the staircase’ — meaning that experience of realizing, too late, what the perfect thing to have said at the party, in a conversation or argument or flirtation would have been. Writing offers us one of the rare chances in life at a do-over: to get it right and say what we meant this time. To the extent writers are able to appear any smarter or wittier than readers, it’s only because they’ve cheated by taking so much time to think up what they meant to say and refining it over days or weeks or, yes, even years, until they’ve said it as clearly and elegantly as they can.”

The time you put into editing, reworking and refining turns your first draft into a second — and then into a third and, if you keep at it, eventually something great. The biggest mistake you can make as a writer is to assume that what you wrote the first time through was good enough.

Now, let’s look at how to do the actual editing.

Watch for common errors

Most writing mistakes are depressingly common; good writers just get better at catching them before they hit the page. If you’re serious about improving your writing, I recommend you read “The Elements of Style” by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White, a how-to guide on writing good, clear English and avoiding the most common mistakes. “ Politics and the English Language ” by George Orwell is also worth studying if you want to avoid “ugly and inaccurate” writing.

Some of the things you’ll learn to watch for (and that I have to fix all the time in my own writing) are:

Overuse of jargon and business speak . Horrible jargon like “utilize,” “endeavor” or “communicate” — instead of “use,” “try” or “chat” — creep in when people (myself included) are trying to sound smart. It’s the kind of writing that Orwell railed against in his essay. All this sort of writing does is obscure the point you want to make behind false intellectualism. As Orwell said, “Never use a long word when a short one will do.”

Clichés. Clichés are as common as mud but at least getting rid of them is low-hanging fruit. If you’re not sure whether something is a cliché, it’s better to just avoid it. Awful, right? Clichés are stale phrases that have lost their impact and novelty through overuse. At some point, “The grass is always greener on the other side” was a witty observation, but it’s a cliché now. Again, Orwell said it well: “Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.” Oh, and memes very quickly become clichés — be warned.

The passive voice. In most cases, the subject of the sentence should be the person or thing taking action, not the thing being acted on. For example, “This article was written by Harry” is written in the passive voice because the subject (“this article”) is the thing being acted on. The equivalent active construction would be: “Harry wrote this article.” Prose written in the passive voice tends to have an aloofness and passivity to it, which is why it’s generally better to write an active sentence.

Rambling . When you’re not quite sure what you want to say, it’s easy to ramble around a point, phrasing it in three or four different ways and then, instead of cutting them down to a single concise sentence, slapping all four together into a clunky, unclear paragraph. A single direct sentence is almost always better than four that tease around a point.

Give your work some space

When you write something, you get very close to it. It’s almost impossible to have the distance to edit properly straight away. Instead, you need to step away and come back later with fresh eyes. The longer you can leave a draft before editing it, the better. I have some essays I go back to every few months for another pass — they’re still not done yet. For most things, though, somewhere from half an hour to two days is enough of a break that you can then edit well. Even 10 minutes will do in a pinch for things like emails.

And when you sit down to edit, read your work out loud.

By forcing yourself to speak the words, rather than just scanning them on a computer screen, you’ll catch more problems and get a better feel for how everything flows. If you stumble over something, your reader will probably stumble over it, too. Some writers even print out their drafts and make edits with a red pen while they read them aloud.

Cut, cut, cut

Overwriting is a bigger problem than underwriting. It’s much more likely you’ve written too much than too little. It’s a lot easier to throw words at a problem than to take the time to find the right ones. As Blaise Pascal, a 17th-century writer and scientist (no, not Mark Twain) wrote in a letter, “I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter.”

The rule for most writers is, “If in doubt, cut it.” The Pulitzer Prize-winning writer John McPhee has called the process “writing by omission.” Novelist Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch (and not William Faulkner, although he may have popularized this version of it) exhorted a version of the oft-repeated phrase, “In writing you must kill all your darlings.” This is true at every level: If a word isn’t necessary in a sentence, cut it; if a sentence isn’t necessary in a paragraph, cut it; and if a paragraph isn’t necessary, cut it, too.

Go through what you’ve written and look for the bits you can cut without affecting the whole — and cut them. It will tighten the work and make everything you’re trying to say clearer.

Spend the most time on the beginning

The beginning of anything you write is the most important part. If you can’t catch someone’s attention at the start, you won’t have a chance to hold it later. Whether you’re writing a novel or an email, you should spend a disproportionate amount of time working on the first few sentences, paragraphs or pages. A lot of problems that can be glossed over in the middle are your undoing at the start.

Pay attention to structure

The structure is what your writing hangs on. It doesn’t matter how perfectly the individual sentences are phrased if the whole thing is a nonsensical mess. For emails and other short things, the old college favorite of a topic sentence followed by supporting paragraphs and a conclusion is hard to get wrong. Just make sure you consider your intended audience. A series of long, unrelenting paragraphs will discourage people from reading. Break things up into concise points and, where necessary, insert subheads — as there are in this article. If I’d written this without them, you would just be looking at a stark wall of text.

For longer pieces, structure is something you’ll need to put a lot of work into. Stream of consciousness writing rarely reads well and you generally don’t have the option to break up everything into short segments with subheads. Narratives need to flow and arguments need to build. You have to think about what you’re trying to say in each chapter, section or paragraph, and consider whether it’s working — or if that part would be better placed elsewhere. It’s normal (and even desirable) that the structure of your work will change drastically between drafts; it’s a sign that you’re developing the piece as a whole, rather than just fixing the small problems.

A lot of the time when something you’ve written “just doesn’t work” for people, the structure is to blame. They might not be able to put the problems into words, but they can feel something’s off.

Use all the resources you can

While you might not be lucky enough to have access to an editor (Hey, Alan!), there are services that can help.

Grammarly is a writing assistant that flags common writing, spelling and grammatical errors; it’s great for catching simple mistakes and cleaning up drafts of your work. A good thesaurus (or even Thesaurus.com ) is also essential for finding just the right word. And don’t neglect a second pair of eyes: Ask relatives and friends to read over your work. They might catch some things you missed and can tell you when something is amiss.

Editing your work is at least as important as writing it in the first place. The tweaking, revisiting and revising is what takes something that could be good — and makes it good. Don’t neglect it.

Correction: This article has been updated to reflect that the phrase “kill your darlings,” originated with novelist Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch , who actually said “murder your darlings,” and not William Faulkner, to whom the phrase is often attributed.

Editing and Proofreading

What this handout is about.

This handout provides some tips and strategies for revising your writing. To give you a chance to practice proofreading, we have left seven errors (three spelling errors, two punctuation errors, and two grammatical errors) in the text of this handout. See if you can spot them!

Is editing the same thing as proofreading?

Not exactly. Although many people use the terms interchangeably, editing and proofreading are two different stages of the revision process. Both demand close and careful reading, but they focus on different aspects of the writing and employ different techniques.

Some tips that apply to both editing and proofreading

• Get some distance from the text! It’s hard to edit or proofread a paper that you’ve just finished writing—it’s still to familiar, and you tend to skip over a lot of errors. Put the paper aside for a few hours, days, or weeks. Go for a run. Take a trip to the beach. Clear your head of what you’ve written so you can take a fresh look at the paper and see what is really on the page. Better yet, give the paper to a friend—you can’t get much more distance than that. Someone who is reading the paper for the first time, comes to it with completely fresh eyes.
• Decide which medium lets you proofread most carefully. Some people like to work right at the computer, while others like to sit back with a printed copy that they can mark up as they read.
• Try changing the look of your document. Altering the size, spacing, color, or style of the text may trick your brain into thinking it’s seeing an unfamiliar document, and that can help you get a different perspective on what you’ve written.
• Find a quiet place to work. Don’t try to do your proofreading in front of the TV or while you’re chugging away on the treadmill. Find a place where you can concentrate and avoid distractions.
• If possible, do your editing and proofreading in several short blocks of time. Your concentration may start to wane if you try to proofread the entire text at one time.
• If you’re short on time, you may wish to prioritize. Make sure that you complete the most important editing and proofreading tasks.

Editing is what you begin doing as soon as you finish your first draft. You reread your draft to see, for example, whether the paper is well-organized, the transitions between paragraphs are smooth, and your evidence really backs up your argument. You can edit on several levels:

Have you done everything the assignment requires? Are the claims you make accurate? If it is required to do so, does your paper make an argument? Is the argument complete? Are all of your claims consistent? Have you supported each point with adequate evidence? Is all of the information in your paper relevant to the assignment and/or your overall writing goal? (For additional tips, see our handouts on understanding assignments and developing an argument .)

Overall structure

Does your paper have an appropriate introduction and conclusion? Is your thesis clearly stated in your introduction? Is it clear how each paragraph in the body of your paper is related to your thesis? Are the paragraphs arranged in a logical sequence? Have you made clear transitions between paragraphs? One way to check the structure of your paper is to make a reverse outline of the paper after you have written the first draft. (See our handouts on introductions , conclusions , thesis statements , and transitions .)

Structure within paragraphs

Does each paragraph have a clear topic sentence? Does each paragraph stick to one main idea? Are there any extraneous or missing sentences in any of your paragraphs? (See our handout on paragraph development .)

Have you defined any important terms that might be unclear to your reader? Is the meaning of each sentence clear? (One way to answer this question is to read your paper one sentence at a time, starting at the end and working backwards so that you will not unconsciously fill in content from previous sentences.) Is it clear what each pronoun (he, she, it, they, which, who, this, etc.) refers to? Have you chosen the proper words to express your ideas? Avoid using words you find in the thesaurus that aren’t part of your normal vocabulary; you may misuse them.

Have you used an appropriate tone (formal, informal, persuasive, etc.)? Is your use of gendered language (masculine and feminine pronouns like “he” or “she,” words like “fireman” that contain “man,” and words that some people incorrectly assume apply to only one gender—for example, some people assume “nurse” must refer to a woman) appropriate? Have you varied the length and structure of your sentences? Do you tends to use the passive voice too often? Does your writing contain a lot of unnecessary phrases like “there is,” “there are,” “due to the fact that,” etc.? Do you repeat a strong word (for example, a vivid main verb) unnecessarily? (For tips, see our handouts on style and gender-inclusive language .)

Have you appropriately cited quotes, paraphrases, and ideas you got from sources? Are your citations in the correct format? (See the UNC Libraries citation tutorial for more information.)

As you edit at all of these levels, you will usually make significant revisions to the content and wording of your paper. Keep an eye out for patterns of error; knowing what kinds of problems you tend to have will be helpful, especially if you are editing a large document like a thesis or dissertation. Once you have identified a pattern, you can develop techniques for spotting and correcting future instances of that pattern. For example, if you notice that you often discuss several distinct topics in each paragraph, you can go through your paper and underline the key words in each paragraph, then break the paragraphs up so that each one focuses on just one main idea.

Proofreading

Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process, focusing on surface errors such as misspellings and mistakes in grammar and punctuation. You should proofread only after you have finished all of your other editing revisions.

Why proofread? It’s the content that really matters, right?

Content is important. But like it or not, the way a paper looks affects the way others judge it. When you’ve worked hard to develop and present your ideas, you don’t want careless errors distracting your reader from what you have to say. It’s worth paying attention to the details that help you to make a good impression.

Most people devote only a few minutes to proofreading, hoping to catch any glaring errors that jump out from the page. But a quick and cursory reading, especially after you’ve been working long and hard on a paper, usually misses a lot. It’s better to work with a definite plan that helps you to search systematically for specific kinds of errors.

Sure, this takes a little extra time, but it pays off in the end. If you know that you have an effective way to catch errors when the paper is almost finished, you can worry less about editing while you are writing your first drafts. This makes the entire writing proccess more efficient.

Try to keep the editing and proofreading processes separate. When you are editing an early draft, you don’t want to be bothered with thinking about punctuation, grammar, and spelling. If your worrying about the spelling of a word or the placement of a comma, you’re not focusing on the more important task of developing and connecting ideas.

The proofreading process

You probably already use some of the strategies discussed below. Experiment with different tactics until you find a system that works well for you. The important thing is to make the process systematic and focused so that you catch as many errors as possible in the least amount of time.

• Don’t rely entirely on spelling checkers. These can be useful tools but they are far from foolproof. Spell checkers have a limited dictionary, so some words that show up as misspelled may really just not be in their memory. In addition, spell checkers will not catch misspellings that form another valid word. For example, if you type “your” instead of “you’re,” “to” instead of “too,” or “there” instead of “their,” the spell checker won’t catch the error.
• Grammar checkers can be even more problematic. These programs work with a limited number of rules, so they can’t identify every error and often make mistakes. They also fail to give thorough explanations to help you understand why a sentence should be revised. You may want to use a grammar checker to help you identify potential run-on sentences or too-frequent use of the passive voice, but you need to be able to evaluate the feedback it provides.
• Proofread for only one kind of error at a time. If you try to identify and revise too many things at once, you risk losing focus, and your proofreading will be less effective. It’s easier to catch grammar errors if you aren’t checking punctuation and spelling at the same time. In addition, some of the techniques that work well for spotting one kind of mistake won’t catch others.
• Read slow, and read every word. Try reading out loud , which forces you to say each word and also lets you hear how the words sound together. When you read silently or too quickly, you may skip over errors or make unconscious corrections.
• Separate the text into individual sentences. This is another technique to help you to read every sentence carefully. Simply press the return key after every period so that every line begins a new sentence. Then read each sentence separately, looking for grammar, punctuation, or spelling errors. If you’re working with a printed copy, try using an opaque object like a ruler or a piece of paper to isolate the line you’re working on.
• Circle every punctuation mark. This forces you to look at each one. As you circle, ask yourself if the punctuation is correct.
• Read the paper backwards. This technique is helpful for checking spelling. Start with the last word on the last page and work your way back to the beginning, reading each word separately. Because content, punctuation, and grammar won’t make any sense, your focus will be entirely on the spelling of each word. You can also read backwards sentence by sentence to check grammar; this will help you avoid becoming distracted by content issues.
• Proofreading is a learning process. You’re not just looking for errors that you recognize; you’re also learning to recognize and correct new errors. This is where handbooks and dictionaries come in. Keep the ones you find helpful close at hand as you proofread.
• Ignorance may be bliss, but it won’t make you a better proofreader. You’ll often find things that don’t seem quite right to you, but you may not be quite sure what’s wrong either. A word looks like it might be misspelled, but the spell checker didn’t catch it. You think you need a comma between two words, but you’re not sure why. Should you use “that” instead of “which”? If you’re not sure about something, look it up.
• The proofreading process becomes more efficient as you develop and practice a systematic strategy. You’ll learn to identify the specific areas of your own writing that need careful attention, and knowing that you have a sound method for finding errors will help you to focus more on developing your ideas while you are drafting the paper.

Think you’ve got it?

Then give it a try, if you haven’t already! This handout contains seven errors our proofreader should have caught: three spelling errors, two punctuation errors, and two grammatical errors. Try to find them, and then check a version of this page with the errors marked in red to see if you’re a proofreading star.

• subheadings between three equals signs, e.g.: ===Hello there=== ;
• italic text between two apostrophes (NOT double quotes) - e.g. '' Hello there'' makes: Hello there ;
• bold text between three apostrophes - e.g. ''' Hello there''' makes: Hello there ;
• bold "and" italic text between five apostrophes - e.g. ''''' Hello there''''' makes: Hello there ;
• [[Say Hello in Different Languages|Say Hello]] would link in a wikiHow article to: Say Hello and
• external web-link entire URL between single square brackets (check spelling & punctuation) - e.g. [http://www.hello-there.com] (with "http://") will link to the webpage at http://www.hello-there.com . Basically, external links are set up like internal links, only with one set of brackets, and a space instead of a | separator;
• "block indent" of unnumbered line or paragraph, put a colon (:) beginning the line (2 colons = double indent) actually skips lines ;
• more bullet points within a bulleted list , use a double star (**) beginning each line
• Third level bullet points within a bulleted list , use a triple star (***) beginning each line
• (That was done here and the one above for example) .
• But, that would disrupt a numbered list... See the note at the end of the numbering section.

Automatic wiki numbering:

• numbered list , put a hash (#) beginning each line.
• insert a new numbered line , strike "Enter" where you want the line and put a hash (#) and write your text and it will automatically renumber all the lines below. That's the basics of numbering!
• bullet point list within the main numbered list , put a hash and a star (#*) beginning each line
• To add extra blank lines as above before the bulleted sub-list, and also below before the indented numbered list use <br><br> at the end of the line before where extra lines are desired.
• put a double hash (##) beginning each line
• Third level numbering put a triple hash (###) beginning each line
• "br" means line break (to break the line and go to the next line) so several of them will make several blank lines...
• Use this extra formatting for a good reason not for fun.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Journal Editing

Publication is the lifeblood of academics and researchers. As you advance in your career, publication in reputable journals is a key step to getting where you want to go. So how can one go about getting their work published in a reputable journal? Of course, conducting high-quality research is the first step. However, that’s not enough to get your paper published. More than three million papers are submitted annually to academic journals. Many of them contain interesting or even groundbreaking research. One of the main criteria for getting your article published is the writing quality. You need to clearly communicate to your fellow researchers and academics. That’s why we’re going to explain each step necessary to perform journal editing.

What is Journal Editing? To put it simply, journal editing is the process of preparing your article for publication in an academic or professional journal. Once you have written your rough draft, it is time to begin the journal editing process. However, you shouldn’t just dive in. You need a plan. Journal editing is an intensive process, as shown by the existence of many academic journal editors , journal editing services, and scientific manuscript editing services that perform journal editing full time. Here are a few things you’ll need to get started:

• A copy of the Author Guide or instructions for authors published by the journal, if available
• Knowledge of the journal’s word or page requirements (minimum and maximum count)
• An understanding of the citation style used by the journal you want to submit your work to (MLA, APA, Chicago)

Many reputable journals have author guides ready-made for article submission, as they maintain strict guidelines for how articles should be written and formatted. Author guides can usually be found on a journal’s website, but if you don’t see any instructions, don’t hesitate to reach out and email the journal before you begin the process of journal editing. You’ll definitely need to know if there are any word minimums or maximums and what citation style is preferred, so ask about that too. Some academic journals don’t have a required citation style. If that’s the case, then you should choose a style that you are familiar with and that is appropriate to your academic discipline.

How Do I Begin Journal Editing? Once you know the basic requirements of the journal you will submit your article to, it’s time to get started. Journal article editing consists of:

• Content editing- analyze and revise the content of your paper
• Citation management- ensure that citations are where they should be and are accurate
• Formatting- make your paper look pretty
• Proofreading- give your paper a final review to check for any technical errors

You should begin the process of journal editing by editing the content of your work. Many professional academic journal editors and journal editing services recommend making a reverse outline of your paper if you are editing your own work. A reverse outline is exactly what it sounds like. Instead of making an outline before you write, you should read your paper and make an outline as you go. Write down your hypothesis/thesis statement and then the main ideas of the paragraphs in each of your sections. The end result should be a clear roadmap. Most writers identify errors or confusing points in this process, which is the main objective of making a reverse outline. Use this to help you go back and refine the organization and content of your paper.

Of course, if you find it difficult to review your own work objectively, there are numerous journal editing services available online. If your research is highly specialized, you may need to look for a scientific manuscript editing service for editing assistance.

Next Steps: Citation Management and Formatting Once you’re satisfied with the content of your article, it’s time to work on your citations and formatting. There are citation generator tools online that can help you with this aspect. However, it’s always a good idea to double-check your work, so you can refer to the relevant online style manual when you aren’t sure how to properly format your citations. You should only work on your citations when content editing has been finalized. Otherwise, it’s easy to forget to add or delete something from the references/works cited section of your paper.

When your content is edited and all of your citations are in order, it’s time to move on to formatting. Many citation guides have their own rules for formatting. If the journal you will submit to does not have its own formatting guide but instructs you to use APA style citation, for example, you can refer to the APA Manual of Style to see how headings should be formatted. Go through your paper section by section to make sure that headlines are bold, centered, italicized, or numbered as necessary.

Final Steps: Proofreading and Submission Once you’ve completed your formatting and your references are in order, it’s time for the final step of journal editing: proofreading. Proofreading involves a careful review of each line of your article to ensure there are no typographical, spelling, punctuation, or grammatical errors. You should never just run a spell check and call it a day. Many minor errors can slip past even the best automated spell-checking programs and increase your chances of being rejected. This is why journal editing services often hire proofreaders in addition to academic journal editors. The more people read your paper before submission, the lower the likelihood of a mistake slipping past. Once you have finished proofreading and are sure your article is the best it can be, you’re done with journal editing. It’s time to submit it to the academic journal you have chosen, and hope for the best!

If the process of journal editing sounds like a lot of work, that’s because it is. It’s one reason that journal editing services and scientific manuscript editing services have become so popular. In addition to the benefit of having another set of eyes reviewing your work, having someone else do journal editing for your article can save you a lot of time. Whether you do your own journal editing or hire a journal editing service, make sure that you prepare your article as carefully as possible to increase your chances of being accepted.

Why Copy Editing is Important

Frequently asked questions about Copilot in Word

Copilot in Word is part of Microsoft 365 Copilot, a set of intelligent writing assistance features in Word which are built on top of the latest large language models. They can help you with the most critical tasks when you work on a document, across text content creation, comprehension, and more. 

Select a heading for more information

What can Copilot in Word do?  

Copilot in Word combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with Word data to provide writing suggestions, summarization, and Q&A capability in real-time to help you stay productive in the workplace. 

What are Copilot in Word's intended uses? 

Generate a document by asking Copilot what you want to write about, with support to include up to three files as a reference.

Generate content based on context of the existing content in the document, with support to include files as a reference.

Provide a summary of a document through a chat interface.

Provide answers to your questions based on the content in a document through a chat interface.

Create text content through a chat interface.

How was Copilot in Word evaluated? 

Copilot in Word was evaluated through extensive manual and automatic testing on top of Microsoft internal usage and public data. More evaluation was performed over custom datasets for offensive and malicious prompts (user questions) and responses. In addition, Copilot in Word is continuously evaluated with user online feedback. 

What are the limitations of Copilot in Word? How can users minimize the impact of Copilot in Word’s limitations when using the system? 

English, Spanish, Japanese, French, German, Portuguese, Italian and Chinese Simplified are supported in Copilot scenarios, the quality is expected to be highest in English, while in other languages the quality is expected to be improved over time. The exception to this is the ability to reference a file which is currently only supported for files in English. More languages and locales will be added in the future. 

The suggestions from Copilot in Word are from AI, and we highly recommend users to review the suggestions before accepting them. 

What operational factors and settings allow for effective and responsible use of Copilot in Word?

Copilot in Word has been reviewed by our Responsible AI (RAI) team. We follow RAI principles and have implemented: 

Responsible AI handling pipeline to mitigate the risks like harmful, impropriate content.

In product user feedback with which users can report offensive content back to Microsoft.

What should I do if I see unexpected or offensive output when using Copilot in Word? 

Copilot in Word includes filters to block offensive language in the prompts and to avoid synthesizing suggestions in sensitive contexts. We continue to work on improving the filter system to more intelligently detect and remove offensive outputs. If you see offensive outputs, please submit feedback in Word using the thumbs up/thumbs down feedback in the Copilot UI so that we can improve our safeguards. Microsoft takes this challenge very seriously and we are committed to addressing it.

Can I trust what Copilot in Word creates? 

Copilot in Word writes in a fluent, grammatically correct way, but the content it generates can be inaccurate or inappropriate. It can’t understand meaning or evaluate accuracy, so be sure to read over what it writes, and use your judgment.  

While these features work to avoid sharing unexpected offensive content in results and take steps to prevent displaying potentially harmful topics, you may still see unexpected results. We’re constantly working to improve our technology to proactively address issues in line with our responsible AI principles.

As with any AI generated content it's a great tool to get started, but it's important that you review, edit, and verify anything it creates for you.

Is the content original? 

Copilot in Word generates content based on language patterns it has found throughout the internet. Sometimes its results will be very similar to existing internet content. Or, Copilot might generate the same or very similar content for multiple people who are prompting Copilot in the same way. 

For example, everyone who instructs Copilot to create a "recipe for apple pie" is likely to wind up with identical or nearly identical content. When originality is a concern, check for similarity to online sources (on the Home tab, go to Editor, and scroll down to Similarity). 

Does Copilot in Word store the descriptions I write?  

Copilot processes your descriptions but does not store them.  

Copilot in Word have human review of my content? 

Copilot in Word does not have human review of your content. User feedback submitted explicitly by the user through the feedback flow goes through our customer feedback system, not Copilot. 

Does Copilot in Word share my data with third parties? 

Copilot in Word does not share data with third parties. 

How is the content of my document used? 

When you get suggestions from Copilot in Word, use the “Inspire me” capability to keep writing, or ask Copilot Chat questions about your document, Copilot processes the content of your document as the context for the text that it generates. The document content (your data) is not stored by Microsoft. For more information see the Microsoft Privacy Statement .  

Does Copilot learn from my data?  

Neither your document content nor the descriptions you write are used for machine learning. Likewise, when you send feedback or report content, Microsoft uses your input to make feature improvements; your feedback does not directly impact the foundational AI models that Copilot is based on.

Enhance your news editing skills with these 10 tips

By sylvia smith sep 1, 2021 in journalism basics.

Write short. It’s much harder than writing long. Although there’s infinite space online, there is not infinite attention among readers.

If you are editing a story, your goal is to shorten and enliven the article so it will attract (and keep) the attention of your readers.

Here are 10 editing tips that will help you tighten and sharpen news stories:

(1) Read each paragraph from the bottom up.

You are looking for missing words, improper punctuation, and bad syntax. By reading from the bottom, you will focus on the basics of English writing and are more likely to identify mistakes.

(2) Read the article aloud.

If you have to take a breath in a sentence, that sentence is too long. Shorten it.

(3) Make “bullets” ( ● ) your friends.

Organize your stories by creating bulleted lists. This can help you avoid awkward or wordy transitions.

(4) know your audience..

Don’t use terminology those readers will not encounter in everyday life. Use references they will understand.

(5) Avoid certain words for the sake of clarity or conciseness.

Examples include:

• Most synonyms for “said.”
• “In order to.” The word “to” suffices.
• “Start to.” In almost all cases, the verb that comes after “start to” can stand on its own.
• “That” after an action verb. No: She said that Mondays are good days. Yes: She said Mondays are good days.
• “Really” and “very,” as in “really fun” or “very hard.” Neither adds any precision, so why use it?
• “Currently.” If you use a present-tense verb (such as “is”), “currently” is redundant. No: I currently have a cold. Yes: I have a cold.
• Many “ing” words. They often complicate sentences and add unnecessary words. No: I am going to travel to Canada. Yes: I will go to Canada. No: I will be fighting for change. Yes: I will fight for change.

(6) Look for redundant phrases. 

Brand new; absolutely essential; tragic death; consensus of opinion; circle around. Eliminate the redundancy. Shorter and simpler: new, essential, death, consensus, circle.

(7) Small edits can add up to big savings (in the length of your story).

If you can cut six words in each paragraph of the average 250-word article, that’s about 60 words (or two paragraphs) of additional information you can add. Your “trims” can add up. Here’s an example of how you can do it:

President Trump said on Saturday night that he would not impose a quarantine on New York, New Jersey and Connecticut but would instead issue a “strong” travel advisory to be implemented by the governors of the three states. (38 words)

President Trump will not order a quarantine for New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, he said Saturday night, but will issue a “strong” travel advisory to be carried out by the governors. (32 words)

(8) Ask whether the first paragraph (or two) of the story is necessary.

Often, the lead (or “lede”) of your story is buried several sentences into the story. Here’s an example from the early days of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S.:

Art studios may not meet the criteria for “essential business,” but for many artists they are essential to making a living. Lisa Hersey is a self-employed bookbinder who operates her business, Antler Editions, out of a studio at Cottage Street Studios, where she also works with another artist in the building as an employee. Both businesses were shuttered this week as Gov. Charlie Baker ordered all nonessential businesses to cease in-person operations. “I have no income, except for my very small unemployment check that I’m getting right now,” Hersey said Thursday. Hersey may be cut off from her studio, but in that sense, she’s not alone in this city of artists…. Hersey understands the safety need for the order, but noted, “I also need to pay my bills that aren’t stopping.”

[Read more: Supercharge your Twitter skills with these five tricks]

Here’s a revised version of the same story that is shorter and more focused:

Barred from her one-woman bookbinding studio because of the state’s closure of all nonessential businesses, Lisa Hersey is scraping by. “I have no income except for my very small unemployment check.” Hersey understands the safety need for the order, but “I also need to pay my bills.” It’s a bind Hersey shares with many other artists, including her neighbors at the Cottage Street Studios.

(9) Let the article “cook.”

Go to lunch, work on something else, grab a coffee. Come back and read it with fresh eyes. You may find something else to cut.

(10) To practice your editing skills, give yourself this assignment on something you have written. 

The assignment: How can I reduce it by 50 words without omitting anything important? Good luck.

Writing and Editing for Journalistic Style

Article editing helps ensure that your articles follow journalistic format and styling.

The following information will help you craft an article with a professional, experienced, and objective tone used in most publications.

What is an article?

An article is a report of an important news story. It may be a short blurb about breaking news or a long-form, in-depth analysis of an important topic or issue. Newspapers and websites publish articles that appeal to their readers.

Get a FREE QUOTE for Our Fast, Reliable, Professional Services! We’ll help you deliver professional content tailored to your target audience. With us on your team, you'll get the best results. Get Started Today! How do you write and edit articles?

You should write articles in the journalistic style. Journalistic style differentiates an article from other kinds of writing. An article always starts with the most important piece of information. You can then mention more extraneous details.

An article will often include the following:

• Headline: A headline needs to be bold and attention grabbing. Editors sometimes write the headline, but you should still give your article a title.
• Angle: The hook of the story is what readers are going to pay attention to. Why is this story important? What makes it unique?
• Introduction: The introduction should sum up the most important information first. Articles can jump around in place and time. You don’t have to “start at the beginning.”
• Quotes: Writers use articles to gather reactions to important events. Quotes are the foundation of journalism. You need to integrate them into the body of the article.

Articles can be about major world issues or small neighborhood events. To practice writing articles, don’t worry about whether your article could get published. Instead, find something interesting and have fun. Readership will follow.

You can create or edit an article from the Knowledge tab or Article Management tab. If you’re creating an article, you may need to select the article type and language. If you’re editing a published article or translation, choose whether to leave it published while you work on a draft copy, or whether to remove the original article from publication and work on it directly. If you work on a copy, publishing the copy replaces the last published version of the article. If you work on the original article, it is unavailable in the channels until you republish it.

Required Editions

When applying categories, choose the categories that a user would naturally look for as they navigate. Users only find an article if they select its explicitly applied category, the parent of that category, or a child of that category.

Since the Summer '20 release, standard Salesforce sharing for Lightning Knowledge is available. Switching to standard sharing changes how you work with data categories and how users can access Knowledge articles. See Sharing Considerations for Lightning Knowledge for more about sharing for Lightning Knowledge.

Once your article is complete, you can assign it to another agent to edit or review the article, publish the article directly, or submit the article for approval. If you have the “Publish Articles” article action and an approval process is set up for an article, you'll see both Publish... and Submit for Approval buttons. .

How to Edit a Newspaper Article

Editing a newspaper article requires a keen eye for detail and a strong command of how words and phrases should be properly used. Among the things to look for when editing a newspaper article is correct usage of grammar and proper spelling. Ensure also that the sentences and paragraphs flow well and aren't disjointed or confusing to the reader. Anyone editing an article should be mindful of possible factual errors. Editing requires fast and accurate fact checking.

Run the article through a spell check program, if possible, to check it for spelling errors. If there's no spell check available, use a dictionary to look up questionable words. Incorrect spellings can occur in all types of words, from ones with tricky spellings, like "daiquiri," to simple ones like "cemetery." Even small conjunctions like "and" and "but" can occasionally be misspelled if the writer is rushing or doesn't proofread his work. As a general rule of thumb, if the word doesn't look right, look it up.

Read through the story for grammatical mistakes. Grammatical errors, no matter how slight, can undermine a story's credibility and detract from the overall message. When reading the story, make sure there's no word confusion, such as improper usage of common terms like "their," "they're," "affect," "effect," "your" and "you're," for example. Pay particular attention to words with apostrophes.

Look for syntax errors in the story. Run-on sentences, fragments and other faulty structure can confuse readers and potentially give a misleading impression in the article. If a sentence is confusing enough that it must be read multiple times to make sense, edit it for brevity and clarity, preferably with the reporter's input, if he's available.

Check the article for factual errors. If anything in an article jumps out as being odd or unlikely, verify the facts with the reporter. Occasionally, reporters make mistakes, such as getting names or dates wrong or transposing digits within a number. Although some factual errors are minor, they shouldn't be allowed to slip through the editing process. A newspaper's popularity depends in part on its ability to get the story right.

Edit portraits on iPhone

Change the Portrait Lighting effect

On models that support Portrait Lighting , you can apply, change, or remove the Portrait Lighting effects in portraits.

Tap any portrait to view it in full screen, then tap Edit.

Natural Light: The face is in sharp focus against a blurred background.

Studio Light: The face is brightly lit, and the photo has an overall clean look.

Contour Light: The face has dramatic shadows with highlights and lowlights.

Stage Light: The face is spotlit against a deep black background.

Stage Light Mono: The effect is like Stage Light, but the photo is in classic black and white.

High-Key Light Mono: Creates a grayscale subject on a white background (on supported models ).

Note: On iPhone X R , only the front camera supports Natural Light, Studio Light, and Contour Light.

Drag the slider left or right to adjust the intensity of the lighting effect.

Tap Done to save your changes.

To undo Portrait Lighting after you save, tap Edit, then tap Revert to go back to the original lighting.

Note: To remove Portrait Lighting from a photo, tap Portrait at the top of the screen.

Adjust Depth Control in portraits

Use the Depth Control slider (on supported models ) to adjust the level of background blur in your portraits.

Drag the Depth Control slider to increase or decrease the background blur effect.

A white dot marks the original depth value for the photo.

Change the focus point of a portrait

You can change the subject (or focus point) using Focus Control. When you select a new subject, the background blur automatically adjusts so the new subject appears sharp and in focus. Make sure that the new subject isn’t blurred or too far in the distance.

Tap a new subject or focus point in the photo.

Note: Available on portraits taken on iPhone 13 models and later, with iOS 16 or later.

Apply the portrait effect to photos taken in Photo mode

On iPhone 15 models, photos with a person, dog, or cat taken in Photo mode can become portraits in the Photos app.

Tap any photo taken in Photo mode to view it in full screen, then tap Edit.

Use the Depth Control slider to increase or decrease the level of background blur in the portrait.

To undo the portrait effects, open the photo, tap Edit, then tap Revert.

Note: When the portrait effect is applied to a Live Photo taken in Photo mode, the Live Photo effects aren’t available. Tap Live to view the Live Photo or apply a Live Photo effect without the portrait effect applied.

How to turn regular photos into Portrait mode photos on an iPhone 15

You can take a standard photo now and turn it into a portrait mode photo later..

By Allison Johnson , a reviewer with 10 years of experience writing about consumer tech. She has a special interest in mobile photography and telecom. Previously, she worked at DPReview.

Anyone with an iPhone who’s taken a picture of their child or pet knows the Portrait mode dilemma. Portrait mode adds that lovely, soft bokeh effect to the background of your image and calls attention to your subject — ideal when your toddler or cat is doing something adorable. But taking the extra second to switch from the standard camera app to Portrait mode sometimes means missing the moment entirely. 

Now, there’s good news for iPhone 15 owners: all of the most recent iPhones — the iPhone 15, 15 Plus , 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max — will allow you to apply Portrait mode after capture to pictures taken in the standard camera mode. You can even shift focus to a different subject or part of the frame if you want. Here’s how it all works. (I followed these steps on an iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 17.0.2.)

• iOS 17’s StandBy is my favorite new iPhone feature in years
• How to set up your own Contact Poster in iOS 17

First things first: not every photo you take can be turned into a Portrait mode photo. The phone needs to record depth information to apply the portrait effect after the fact, and it doesn’t do that for every photo. The iPhone 15 will automatically save depth information when it detects a face, a cat, or a dog in the frame. It will also save the depth information whenever you tap the frame to focus on a subject. 

You’ll know it’s working when you see an f-stop icon appear in the bottom-left corner of the frame as you’re taking a photo. You can tap the icon to see the portrait effect as you take the photo, but it’s not necessary. Just take the photo as you normally would, and you’ll be able to convert it later.

Provided that the depth information was saved, here’s all you need to do:

• Open your photo in the Photos app . 
• Tap the Portrait option in the top left of the photo. You’ll see that Portrait Off is selected. 
• Tap Portrait . A blurred background will be applied to your image. 

But wait, there’s more

You have a few more options if you want to tweak the results. 

• Tap Edit to bring up the editing window. From here, you can use the f-stop slider to adjust the strength of the background blur. 
• You’ll also see a yellow autofocus box indicating the point of focus in your image. To shift the focus somewhere else, just tap anywhere in the frame to move the focus box. 

Once you’re happy with how it all looks, tap Done to save the image — you can always revert to the original by opening it up again in Photos and undoing your changes.

A couple more notes: you can use this feature with the phone’s main, telephoto, and selfie cameras. It will also work if you have Live Photos turned on, though depth information is only saved for the cover frame of your Live Photos burst. That means you can apply Portrait mode to a live photo, but only that key frame will have the blurred background effect. If you choose a different frame — say, one where everyone is looking at the camera — you won’t be able to apply Portrait mode. We can’t quite have it all, unfortunately.
