emend
Revise a manuscript
To emend is to make corrections to a text, removing errors or improving accuracy.
The word belongs primarily to scholarly and editorial contexts: The editor emended the manuscript based on newly discovered letters.
Unlike the broader "amend," which applies to laws, behavior, or documents generally, emend specifically concerns textual correction.
