re-edits

Tweaks once more

Re-edits are revised versions of edited material, or the act of editing something again.

A film director might produce several re-edits before settling on a final cut.

The verb applies to any medium: She re-edits her essays obsessively before submitting them.

The hyphen distinguishes the word from "reedits," though both spellings appear.
