How it's used
Focuses on the meticulous examination or processing of a list, set of rules, or specific points. It implies a sense of thoroughness and attention to detail that is not present in more general terms like 逐個. Use this when you need to emphasize that nothing should be skipped or overlooked in a sequence.
Examples
Read through the contract item by item before you sign.
He explained the rules to me one by one.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 逐個, which is used for counting individual people or objects. 逐條 is specifically reserved for items that are long, thin, or abstract, such as clauses in a contract, rules, or list items.
