proofing
Checking for mistakes
Proofing is the process of checking something for errors or readiness.
In baking, proofing is the final rise of dough before baking, when yeast ferments and creates air bubbles: Let the dough finish proofing before you shape it.
In publishing, proofing means reviewing a proof for mistakes before printing.
Proofing can also mean testing something's resistance: proofing fabric against water.
