How Do You See the Edit History of a Steemit Post?
I noticed that we are allowed to edit our posts. Since this is on a blockchain, is there a way to see how a post has been edited over time? Facebook allows this by clicked the "Edited" link, which shows all previous versions of a post. Currently, there is no way to delete posts, but if there is a way to edit, it seems almost as good as deleting, as you could just delete all the text in the post leaving an empty post. Correct? Edited
You can view all of your blockchain data here: https://steemd.com/@leon-fu
So if you edit a post, it shows up there. And if you want to see the edit history of any user, simply search their username on steemd (e.g. https://steemd.com/@ntomaino)
OK, that's close. It does show that I edited this post twice, but it still doesn't seem to show the 2 versions of this post: https://steemd.com/steemit/@leon-fu/how-do-you-see-the-edit-history-of-a-steemit-post
You can't do this with either the Steemit or Steemd.com UIs. The data sits in the blockchain, and it would be interesting to see revision histories I suppose, like Wikipedia. I have mixed feelings though, as I think posts should be displayed as a user wants them to be, and it shouldn't be easy for anyone to see how they didn't want them to be.
Updated info for people coming from internet searches:
There doesn't appear to be an easy way to do this, despite blockchain 'transparency'.
Best I found is https://steemdb.com/steemit/@leon-fu/how-do-you-see-the-edit-history-of-a-steemit-post
So change steemit to steemdb, doesn't seem to work all the time unfortunately
I don't know if it is possible with available tools right now. But I think it can be retrieved from blockchain. As I am fiddling around and getting app ready https://steemit.com/app/@good-karma/steem-mobile-application-update-android-ios I think it would be great feature to see different revisions of the post, I will consider and put it in to do list!
I know this is an old post but it is the first search result so I wanted to add this tool here which shows edit history of a post: https://phist.steemdata.com/
I think it's true! , @leon-fu
Yes ʘ‿ʘ
There is a way! Scroll down to your votes, and you will see a button that says reply. Right next to that is edit! Have fun!
I know there's a way to edit, but is there a way to see the history of my edits? In other words, if I edit this post 10 times, could I see the 10 different versions of this post? It doesn't seem so.
yes, every edit shows up in your history on https://steemd.com/@leon-fu
Hello, @leon-fu, It would be great if you supported my charity event: https://steemit.com/openheart/@jennamarbles/first-steem-crowdfunding-we-can-make-this-world-better
I hope that this action will attract in STEEM thousands of people. And after a time, everyone who needs help will be able to find it in STEEM.
Hi Leon, is your buddy Tai zen also around steemit?
