A review is an evaluation or assessment of something, such as a book, movie, or product, typically done to provide feedback or critique. A revision, on the other hand, is the act of making changes or corrections to something, such as a document or piece of writing, in order to improve it or make it more accurate. In other words, a review is a critical analysis of something, while a revision is the process of making changes to improve it.
