hlr-revision-and-editing
Use when working through the Harvard Law Review (HLR) post-acceptance editing cycle — successive substantive and technical edit rounds, responding to editor markups, and page proofs to publication. Drives the edit cycle to completion; it does not manage the offer/expedite phase (hlr-placement-strategy) or the first editor handshake (hlr-student-editor-review).

# Revision and Editing (hlr-revision-and-editing)
After acceptance, an HLR piece goes through an **intensive, multi-round editing cycle** run by student
editors — heavier and more iterative than at most journals. There is no single "R&R letter" as in peer
review; instead there are successive passes (substantive, technical/line, Bluebook, proofs), each with
deadlines. This skill keeps the cycle moving, protects the argument across rounds, and lands the piece in
print without late surprises.
## When to trigger
- The substantive edit is underway and rounds are stacking up
- You receive markups, queries, or new source-pull requests between rounds
- You disagree with a proposed change and must respond across a round
- Page proofs arrive and need a careful final pass
