The **Message edit history** modal shows all edits to a message, sorted from

Each entry in the **Message edit history** modal has the following properties:
1. Highlighted **differences** (additions in green, deletions in red) between
the previous message edit and the current version.
2. **Timestamp** of the message edit.
3. **Author** of the message edit.

To exit the **Message edit history** modal, simply click the x (<i
class="icon-vector-remove"></i>) icon in the top right-hand corner or the
**Close** button in the bottom right corner.
