My question is similar to this, but not quite the same goal.
"being edited" or "in process of editing" or "in edit" in one word
I want a word to indicate that which is edited by an editor. Editee comes to mind, but pretty sure that's not a word. I don't want to indicate change, or incompletion. I just want a word for content that is being (or is to be edited) and can't think of a good one.
Edit (more details):
The thing that is actually being edited is a record of a person. It's actually for a code variable while doing a permission check. Whether person A, one doing the editing, has the right to edit person B's data. I just went with editee for now, hope the next programmer to work with this won't go, wtf?!. Feels weird to use "content" when the content in question is another person. Also don't want to use something like this as a variable name $user_whose_info_is_being_or_will_be_edited
function permissionCheck($editor, $editee){
