What is structural editing?
Structural editing (sometimes known as substantive editing) is the first step of the editing process. It requires the editor to thoroughly examine the goals, structure and layout of the document, and offer feedback. Structural edits of business documents typically address factors like pacing, coherency, information architecture and effectiveness of communication.
