rehiding

Covering up anew

Rehiding is the act of hiding something again, typically after it has been found or disturbed: The kids kept rehiding the Easter eggs so the hunt would last longer.

The word appears most often when concealment requires a second attempt—because the original hiding spot was discovered or compromised.
