Morphology

re-edit = edit (transparent) = re + edit

This is a standard and fully compositional use of 're-' meaning 'again' added to the verb 'edit'.

Etymology

Re-edit is made of re- meaning 'again' and edit, which means 'to change' or 'correct' a text, film, or recording, like an editor does. So to re-edit something is to 'edit again' to improve or update it.
