'given new layout' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with creating things as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'acquiescent about editor' is the wordplay.
'acquiescent' becomes 'resigned' (acquiescent can mean resigned to something).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'resigned' placed around 'ed' is 'REDESIGNED'.

'being' acts as a link.
