Hi,
Do you have specific questions based on areas you have trouble with or past scorecards? If you provide examples, it will be easier to give an opinion.

I want to get your opinion on the use of hyphen
For example: well-edited, well-done, etc

Hyphen usage has become less strict, but these 2 primary rules, as stated in the link below, are still considered best practices.
1. Generally, hyphenate two or more words when they come before a noun they modify and act as a single idea. This is called a compound adjective.
and
2. When a compound adjective follows a noun, a hyphen is usually not necessary.
Some grammar checkers will flag a compound adjective in #2 if it is not hyphenated, but it is often not required in this case.

Here are sentences using your two examples:
This well-edited book had no flaws.
His classwork was always well done.
