1. How do teams proofread written works, as opposed to individuals?

2. How is team identity developed in the writing process?

The following paragraph is just additional subject guidance-

Collaborative writing, however, is becoming increasingly important in the workplace. How does collaborative writing work and how should it work? Is the collaborative writing process the same as the individual writing process? If not, how does it differ?
