redrafting
Editing a manuscript
Redrafting is the process of revising and rewriting a document, plan, or piece of legislation.
A bill may go through several redraftings before passage.
Writers speak of redrafting manuscripts to improve clarity or structure: I spent the weekend redrafting the second chapter.
