Actually I have no complaint about it. I like the word redaction and think we 
are using it appropriately.

Merriam-Webster says;

re*dact (verb transitive)

[Middle English, from Latin redactus, past participle of redigere]

First appeared 15th Century

 1 : to put in writing : FRAME

 2 : to select or adapt for publication : EDIT

re*dac*tion (noun)

[French redaction, from Late Latin redaction-, redactio active of reducing, 
compressing, from Latin redigere to bring back, reduce, from re-, red- re- + 
agere to lead -- more at AGENT]

First appeared 1785

 1 : an act or instance of redacting something

 2 : a work that has been redacted : EDITION, VERSION

I fail to see where we are using it incorrectly.
