A proof copy is a version of a manuscript that has been typeset after copyediting.
Proof typescripts often contain typographical errors introduced by mistyping (hence the word typo to refer to misplaced or incorrect characters).
Traditionally, a proofreader checks the typeset copy and marks any errors using standard proof correction marks (such as those specified in style manuals, by house style, or, more broadly, by the international standard ISO-5776, or, for English, the British Standard BS-5261:2).
The proof is then returned to the typesetter for correction, and in many cases the production of a second proof copy (often known as a revise).
