... which is an "editing" method that first gained popularity in the video editing world when you edited a low res electronic copy, saved the EDL (Edit Decision List) and then use that EDL to "scrip" the then rather slow process of editing the full resolution file, often on a separate computer.
Lr, like modern video editing software, is also a proxy editor in that you edit a preview, often lower resolution though Lr can generate full resolution previews, and the edits are applied to a full resolution copy if and when you "export" the image.
