Stop and make an edit (6)
I believe the answer is:
detain
'stop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'make an edit' is the wordplay.
'make' is an anagram indicator.
'an'+'edit'='anedit'
'anedit' is an anagram of 'DETAIN'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for detain that I've seen before include "Sing to (someone)" , "Ate din (anag.)" , "Hold (someone) back" , "Keep in custody or delay" , "Keep waiting or under restraint" .)
