Editing is the process of transforming text to improve clarity and impact. This involves looking at accuracy of content, flow and structure of the writing style and identification of inconsistencies in grammar, spelling and punctuation.

Editing often involves rewriting of portions of the text, and may vary from minor amendments to subtantial reworking.

Proofreading is the final checking of written work before publication, and identifies errors of punctuation, spelling and grammar.

Software spell-checkers don't pick up all errors, and your sophisticated message can lose its impact when a where is replaced by a were.
