I saw it in this entry しゅうせい【修正】の意味 - 国語辞書 - goo辞書 Also へんこう【変更】の類語・シソーラス - 類語辞書 - goo辞書
I checked for the meaning of it on google since that compound verb doesn't have its dictionary entry and stumbled upon "改め直す"は二重表現ですか?? - 直すの意味5 (動詞の連用形... - Yahoo!知恵袋 which confused me a bit. According to that, 改め + -直す(connects to masu) would make it sound like you're doing 改める again, i.e., correcting something twice (2nd time after you corrected it once before).
It doesn't really add up since 修正 and 改正 definitely don't mean "correct something two times".
Maybe it can mean both (correct once and 2nd time)? : S
Thanks.
