You are always given a ‘clean’ version of your work with all editing changes incorporated, plus a ‘marked-up’ copy, where you can see every change that has been made in Track Changes in Microsoft Word. Additionally, you are given author’s notes including suggestions and feedback, which are positive and encouraging, yet clear and honest.
It may then require some changes to be made by the writer, after which the manuscript is given a second polish and last read-through. You are always given final sign-off on your manuscript before it goes to the printer.
