refiling
Putting back away
Refiling is the act of filing something again—submitting paperwork, documents, or legal claims a second time.
This typically happens after an initial filing was rejected, withdrawn, or needs correction: After the court dismissed the case on a technicality, the prosecutor announced plans for refiling.
In office contexts, refiling can simply mean returning documents to their proper place in a filing system.
