Before revising you should consider your writing situation, the different ideas and arguments you are talking about, the genre, and the structure.

The strategies you should use to revise your paper are to go through and highlight the main point, reasons, and evidence. You should also challenge your assumptions to make sure what you are saying in your paper is correct and also ask for feedback from others.

While editing you should focus on the accuracy of your paper, the spelling and grammar, the consistency, and the style. When you are editing your paper you should make sure that you read it carefully and also have someone else read it thoroughly and give you any feedback.
