Proofreading and approval before your collection goes live
A misspelled name on a hall of fame profile is the mistake families notice first. A simple review process, with one reviewer, a checklist and a single list of corrections, catches it before your community does.

Why it matters
Corrections arrive in five emails after launch
Content gets shared with a committee, everyone replies separately and some notes conflict. Without a clear sign-off, errors slip through and get fixed in public.
Ideas for Proofreading and Approval
A review checklist
Check the spelling of names, graduation years, sports, honors and photo captions on every entry.
One corrections list
Collect every fix in a single document or spreadsheet so nothing gets lost between inboxes.
A read-aloud pass for names
Read names aloud with someone who knew the honorees. It catches nicknames, maiden names and swapped first and last names.
Spot checks against sources
Compare a sample of entries to the original programs or plaques, especially records and dates.
Photo and caption review
Confirm each photo shows the right person and that the school has permission to use it.
A named final approver
Decide who says “ready to launch,” so the collection doesn’t wait on a committee vote.
How it works with Data Entry & Project Management
Proofreading and Approval, step by step.
Three steps
Rocket prepares entries for review
Rocket enters the agreed material and raises details the sources didn’t answer, so your reviewer sees the open questions.
Your team checks and corrects
Your reviewer checks the entries against what the school knows and shares corrections in one round where possible.
Approve, then share
Once corrections are in, your approver signs off and you share the collection with your community.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Proofreading and Approval tips
Review in batches
Check one class or one sport at a time. Short sessions keep reviewers sharp.
Give reviewers a deadline
Set a review date well before the launch event, with time left for a second look at changes.
Mark what’s confirmed
Have reviewers mark each entry as confirmed or questioned, so you know what still needs attention.
Keep fixing after launch
Your staff can keep content current in the editor, so a late correction doesn’t need to hold up launch day.

Questions
Proofreading and Approval questions
Choose someone who knows the people and history, plus a second careful reader for spelling. Keep the group small and send all notes to one corrections list.
Rocket prepares the agreed entries and brings missing or unclear details back to your team. Your team checks the content, confirms names, dates and photo permissions and shares corrections before launch.
Yes. Your staff can update content in Rocket’s editor at any time. Unlimited content and weekly updates are included, with no per-profile fees.
Review time depends on how many entries you have and how many people check them. Share your target date early so review is built into the plan rather than squeezed at the end.
