Also means
to publish
Usage Note
Editar covers both editing (revising a text) and publishing (releasing a book or record). This breadth makes it a partial false friend: if someone says voy a editar el libro they may mean 'I'm going to publish the book', not just edit it. Editar is regular -ar.
Examples
"Necesito editar el artículo antes de enviarlo."
Natural Translation
I need to edit the article before sending it.
