What is an EDITED file?

EDITED files mostly belong to various software, including Microsoft Word. Files with the *.EDITED extension are typically renamed files, often indicating that the original file has undergone modifications. The renaming process is frequently automated by software to signify changes while preserving the original file's content. This practice is common with various file types, including Microsoft Word documents, where a user might save an edited version as filename.docx.EDITED. This allows users to differentiate between versions and potentially revert to the original if needed. The internal structure and format of the *.EDITED file remain the same as the original file type, meaning a *.docx.EDITED file is still essentially a Word document. Therefore, to access the content, simply renaming the file back to its original extension (e.g., removing the .EDITED) is usually sufficient.
