The following steps describe the process for proofreading a document after another technical writer has proofread it for the first time.

Initial all appropriate boxes on the Job Production Checklist as you complete each task listed below.

1. Review all NTS pages and pages with alts in the same manner as first read.
2. Stamp double-read pages on the bottom center.
3. Review PDFs on SENDD.
   1. Check the page size of the PDF against the work order instructions by hovering the mouse over the gray area on the lower left side of the window.
   2. Make sure no text or folios are cut off at the bottom of the page. If they are, trash the PDF(s) and return to a proofreader for reposting.
   3. Stamp (or initial) the QAI Form in the “Approved by” spot.
   4. On SENDD, click the box underneath “Approve” for the appropriate PDFs.
   5. Click the arrow in the drop-down box labeled “E-Mail to Customer Service” and highlight the location referenced at the bottom of the Work Order.
   6. Click Submit.
