- Improve structure and flow
- Polish language and presentation
- Final proofread
Collaborative Editing
When working with team members:Avoiding Conflicts
- Communicate who is editing which sections
- Avoid editing the same section simultaneously
- Refresh to see teammate’s changes
Review Workflow
Establish a review process:- Author generates and edits the report

- Final approval before export
Regenerating Sections
If a section needs significant rework:- Delete the existing section content
