Copyediting Output

In response to your query, if you've sent us a sample, we study it and offer our 'General Comments' on your work as it is, and what we need to do to hone it and give it the desired finesse.
As soon as you confirm, we start work. We send two copies of it to you: one which shows insertions of text in red underline and deletions in red strikethrough; and the other which incorporates all the changes suggested.
You can go through the first copy and accept or reject every change individually, or accept or reject all changes with one click, or accept the second copy (on which too you can make any changes you desire).
