editability
Capacity for revision
Editability is the quality of being editable—how easily something can be modified, revised, or changed.
The term appears most often in software and digital contexts, where a document's or file's editability depends on its format, permissions, or the tools available.
The PDF's editability was limited compared to the original Word document.
In broader use, editability can describe any content's openness to revision.
