'prepares for' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'sited anew' is the wordplay.
'anew' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sited' with letters rearranged gives 'EDITS'.

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edits that I've seen before include "Redacts" , "Prepares for publication" , "Tides (anag.)" , "Modifies" , "Directs newspaper production" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
