I’m not exactly sure if you asked the question correctly.
I’m thinking that the question you meant to ask was “What are the three phases of the editing process?”
If that’s what you meant to ask… then there are, indeed, three phases in the editing process:
They are: (1) developmental or substantive editing, (2) copyediting, and (3) production editing
You can read more about what each phase entails at this website…
