'they revise text' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'embarrassed performers' is the wordplay.
'embarrassed' becomes 'red' (someone may blush or go red when embarrassed).
'performers' becomes 'actors' (actor is a kind of performer).
'red'+'actors'='REDACTORS'

'for' is the link.
