Editing and Review
Once the email has been submitted, UComm will edit the copy prior to preparing the email to send. You may be asked to make some edits as part of this third step.
What Level of Editing Is Done?
The editing focuses on checking for misspellings, typos, grammatical mistakes, deviations from NC State University branding guidelines and email best practices, and formatting issues. The editor may also suggest changes to improve the copy, such as tightening sentences, avoiding repetition, and using more precise language. The editor will not rewrite the email.
What Do I Need To Do?
Potentially nothing. If there are any changes that need to be made, an email editor will contact you with suggestions on how to proceed. If there are simple misspellings that need to be corrected, an email editor will likely proactively make corrections for you.
If any changes need to be made (or were made by the editor), you will be notified to implement or approve the suggested changes via the Email Dashboard. You will also receive a notification email with information about the editing step.
A good way to streamline this step is to run your email copy through a tool such as Grammarly or have a colleague read the email with a fresh set of eyes to potentially catch any errors.
