Editing

Editing is the process of reviewing, revising, and refining content—such as code, text, or media—to improve its quality, accuracy, and clarity. In software development, it involves modifying source code, documentation, or configuration files using tools like text editors or integrated development environments (IDEs). This skill is fundamental for debugging, optimizing, and maintaining software projects.
