How they carried out their work?
Close companions of the Prophet.
Always stayed close to him.
They re-ordered the revelations and inserted new ones as the Prophet directed them to.
There was always a scribe on hand to take down a revelation from the Prophet.
Whenever the Prophet received a revelation, he immediately dictated it to them, as he
could not read or write.
They would write it on pieces of wood, animal skins, palm leaves, etc.
They would also learn the revelations by heart.
Whatever they recorded was checked and approved by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) himself,
every word and every entrance were composed and verified fittingly
They would add new verses and arrange them in order on the instructions of the Prophet.
They preserved the word of Allah.

Importance of their work:
The scribes of the divine revelation hold immense importance in Islam as they made sure
that the revelations must be in written form because the Prophet did not know how to
read or write.
Apart from writing them, they also learnt the verses so that they remained in their
memory. Thus they were Hafiz-e-Quran and they played a vital role in the preservation of
Quran in its original form. If they had not written the revelations, the word of Allah might
perish forever.
This shows that their work played an important role in preserving Quran for future generations
