Review, proofread and correct

I'm a little confused about the meaning of the words review, proofread and correct.

From what I can gather, review" and "proofread" mean to read over something in order to spot any errors and to suggest corrections, but doesn't necessarily mean that the person reviewing or proofreading will make those corrections. Is that right?

Anonymous but that doesn't necessarily mean that the person reviewing or proofreading will make those corrections. That's correct.

A book review is a critique of a book that has already been published.

Proofread means to check some writing and mark its grammatical and stylistic errors.

Edit means to make changes that go beyond proofreading. An editor can recommend changes based on their own ideas and opinions.

Correct just means to fix errors.
