Are you talking about edits or new replies?

I would really love to easily find out the difference between the edit I started some time ago and the post as it is publicly available at the moment. However, I would like to see it when I continue editing and not after I have edited.

 ![The image displays a dialog box with a message stating "You already have a draft in progress. What would you like to do with it?" and offers two options: a red "Discard" button and a "Resume editing" link.

For new replies, the edit would not make much sense to me, because thanks to autosave, there is no difference, is there?
