I think it is well known that only moderators can see deleted comments.

But what I am wondering (mainly out of pure curiosity): can moderators also see the "edit history" of comments?

  • Which makes a lot of sense, but now I am wondering how one of those high-traffic Q/As on MSE looks to the moderators. Not only deleted comments, but also version history for all (?) comments then. Must be a real mess ....

    We don't see them immediately, we have to click the 'pencil' icon (which is visible to all users when a comment is edited).

  • @GhostCat Version history for comments is only available if you specifically click to look at it. It doesn't make the whole page a mess. Commented Jan 3, 2020 at 8:41
