What is the noun form of edit?

Answer 1

The noun forms of the verb to edit are editor, editorial, edition, and the gerund, editing (the present participle of a verb that functions as a verb, a noun, and an adjective).

If I were to say, "I am editing a book.", then I am using it as a verb.

If I were to say, "The book's author is happy with my editing.", then I am using it as a noun.

If I were to say, "The book is in the editing stage.", then I am using it as an adjective.

The word 'edit' is also a noun form, for example: "This article needs an edit before you submit it.", and "The requested edits have been completed."
