In formal writing, '修改稿' is preferred over '改稿' when emphasizing the process of revision. '改稿' can sound more casual or direct.
Use '修改稿' to specify a revised version, while '初稿' (first draft) and '终稿' (final draft) are used for earlier and later stages, respectively.
修改 (xiūgǎi) means 'to revise' and 稿 (gǎo) means 'draft' or 'manuscript'. The compound word combines these two to mean 'revised draft'.
