Rewriting notes is akin to reviewing them; as you review your content, depth, and structure, you make necessary changes. The point of making rewriting a seventh separate step of note-taking, however, is to guarantee you've followed through on your plan.
Have you ever failed to pack one incidental for a trip, pick up one item from the supermarket, or recall one fact for a test? The same can happen when taking notes. So rewriting stands out for those moments when you move, add, and delete details as you review your notes. The more skilled you become at note-taking, the more reviewing and rewriting seem simultaneous.
