1. Redaction

   Redaction is a form of editing in which multiple source texts are combined and altered slightly to make a single document. Often this is a method of collecting a series of writings on a similar theme and creating a definitive and coherent work. "To redact" later came to be used in the sense of selecting from or adapting a document prior to publication or release. In the early twentyfirst century it has become a euphemism meaning "conceal from unauthorized view; censor but do not destroy". The word may be used in relation to obscuring or deleting specific information, rather than editing an entire document; e.g. a court may order that the names of people be redacted.
