Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward noun-noun combination where 'editorial' (relating to editing/staff duties) modifies 'file' (a collection of documents), so the meaning 'a file containing documents prepared for publication' is directly inferable from the constituents. This follows a common English compounding pattern and would be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Editorial file comes from the simple picture of an editor gathering all the final pages and copies into one file marked editorial, ready to send to the printer. That's why it means 'a file containing documents or printouts prepared and ready for publication'.
