The difference between copy-editing and proofreading is as follows, and quite often a combination of both is required:

Proofreading  is checking and correcting:

- typographical errors
- omissions
- spelling
- grammar
- punctuation
- consistency
​

Copy-editing  is checking and correcting:
​
- all of the above to a certain extent, plus
- language ​
- logical structure
- clarity
- consistency and style layouts
- illustrations
​
