According to the translator, 編修 and 編集 are pronounced as "Henshū" and given
the same meaning of "Edit". Also, both can be used as a noun.

So are there any specific situations to use these words?

Thank you!

What is the difference between 編修 and 編集?
There is some degree of overlap, but here is the basic difference.

**編集** is a very common word that means "edit(ing)". In the publishing
industry, 編集 mainly involves DTP works, typo correction, terminology
standardization, cover design, creating an index, and so on. A professional
編集者 (editor) working at an editorial office of a publishing company also does
scheduling, planning, budgeting, calling for articles, etc. 編集 also means
editing of a video file, programming source code, etc.

**編修** is a relatively uncommon term which is more like "compilation". It's
about gathering materials from various sources and making a large work such as
anthology, encyclopedia, and chronology. A person who does 編修 is not a DTP
operator but an expert of a certain academic field. **編纂** is a more common
and less confusing synonym. Admittedly, a person who does 編修 also does 編集 to
some degree, so the borderline is sometimes blurry. 辞書の編集 and 辞書の編修 seem to be
used almost interchangeably.

For example, an odrinary novel doesn't need 編修, but every book needs 編集. When
in doubt, you can just think "editing" normally corresponds to 編集.
