Editor raised suggestions for drafts (7)
I believe the answer is:
designs
'for drafts' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'editor raised suggestions' is the wordplay.
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'raised' says the letters should be written in reverse (going up in a down clue).
'suggestions' becomes 'signs' (sign can mean a suggestion or indicator).
'ed' back-to-front is 'de'.
'de'+'signs'='DESIGNS'
(Other definitions for designs that I've seen before include "Intentions" , "intended purposes" , "'Blueprints, patterns (7)'" , "Plans" , "Plots" .)
