2. At the top of the comment, click edited to open the edit history.

   Note

   If you don't see the edited option, then the comment doesn't have an edit history.

4. In the top right of the edit history window, click Options. Then click Delete revision from history to delete the diff that shows the content being added.

   

5. To confirm deletion, click OK.
