'Redaktion' can refer to the team, the place, or the activity. The verb in the sentence makes the meaning clear: a team 'entscheidet' (decides), you 'arbeitet' (work) at a place, and an activity 'dauert' (takes time) or is 'gemacht' (done).
Die Redaktion hat den Artikel abgelehnt.
The editorial team rejected the article.
When 'Redaktion' stands for the team, the word is often used like an acting person in the singular. It can make decisions, have opinions, or publish something.
Die Redaktion der Zeitung prüft alle Fakten sorgfältig.
The newspaper's editorial team checks all facts carefully.
When 'Redaktion' means the offices, you have to pay attention to the case. 'In der Redaktion' (in the editorial office; dative) describes a location, while 'in die Redaktion' (to/into the editorial office; accusative) expresses movement toward it.
Die Besprechung findet in der Redaktion statt.

The meaning 'process of editing' is a technical term from the media and publishing industry. It describes the professional revision of content before publication.
Vor dem Druck durchläuft jeder Artikel eine strenge Redaktion.

When the subject is specifically published media content, „Redaktion“ is therefore usually the better choice.
Die Redaktion prüfte den Artikel und gestaltete ihn für die Veröffentlichung.
