Well, it is when an editor goes through the document to check for grammar and spelling problems, or content problems, or format problems, or other things... depends on the type of editing that the editor is doing. If you heard it in a school setting, and you have to do it for your own papers, it probably has something to do with going through and finding spelling and grammar mistakes on your own. My suggestion is to start at the end of the paper and move forward, so that you don't distract yourself with your own paper and can look at each paragraph somewhat objectively.

To identify mistakes in grammar usage and mechanics, you can review your writing for common errors such as subject-verb agreement, punctuation issues, verb tense consistency, and spelling errors. It's also helpful to use grammar checkers and proofreading tools to catch any overlooked mistakes. Reading your writing out loud can also help you spot errors that may have gone unnoticed.

You should always edit your own work - even if you also use a professional editor! Editing helps you to learn your mistakes and not make them again. It also helps you to see patterns you get stuck in that you need to change, and to see things like passive sentences and mistakes in grammar.
The answer to your question is the numerical value of your grammar mistakes.
