What is the difference between revision of a piece of writing and editing? Explain?

Question:

Answers:
revising is the process of changing the structure of your paper, such as putting points into a different order so that they make more sense or are easier to read or rewording a sentence to make it sound more authoritative. Cutting writing down to size limits is also considered revising. Three different people would probably revise the same draft in three different ways. This term is going out of use and what was once being called revising are being included in the definition of editing.

Editing, traditionally involves mechanics. It is a matter of correcting, spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Today, however the definitions for revising above can also be identified as editing.
just guessing but a revision and a edit are about the same thing
Depends on who you ask, but generally, revising a work refers to rewriting part or all of what was written. Editing usually refers to fine tuning of grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. However, incorporating edits is part of revising a document...so they're very similar. It really depends on who you talk to. Revision is any type of reworking of the document, while editing usually is specifically about the fine tuning to make sure it is clean of errors.
Editing is more about the words (spelling, grammer, etc.)
Revisions are more about the subject matter. Like changing around topics or ideas.
