Currently there is no additional copy. It uses the existing “edited” notification.  
For example, `@alice` will receive the following notification when `@bob` edits a hidden post flagged by `@alice`.

There are a few conditions for you to receive that notification:

- The flagged post must be hidden when the edit happens. So, if you are the only flagger and the post is never hidden, you won’t be notified about the edit.
- The edit must cause the post to be unhidden. It won’t notify when the post stays hidden after the edit.
- The author must edit the post themself. It won’t notify when the post is edited e.g. by staff.
