recorrection
Second attempt repair
Recorrection is a correction of something that was already corrected—either fixing an error introduced by the first correction, or refining the correction itself.
The word implies a process that didn't get it right the first time: The recorrection of the manuscript addressed mistakes the copyeditor had introduced.
