reformatting
Altering document structure
Reformatting is changing the format or structure of something.
You might reformat a document to meet submission requirements, or reformat a hard drive to erase its contents and prepare it for fresh use.
In computing, reformatting often means wiping storage media clean: I had to reformat the drive after the virus.
The word also applies to reorganizing text, data, or layouts: She spent an hour reformatting the spreadsheet.
