I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'polish prose?' is the definition.
'edit' can be an answer for 'polish' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'prose?' bit.

'in part got ideas looking back' is the wordplay.
'in part' indicates a hidden word.
'looking back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'tide' is hidden in the letters of 'got ideas'.
'tide' reversed gives 'EDIT'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edit that I've seen before include "Prepare (material) for publishing" , "Supervise - amend" , "Supervise the publication of" , "work on newspaper?" , "Manage a newspaper" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
