redraft
Write it again
To redraft is to write a new version of a document, revising and improving upon an earlier draft: I need to redraft this proposal before the meeting.
The noun redraft refers to the revised version itself.
In banking, a redraft is a new draft drawn to recover fees lost when an original draft was dishonored.
