Understanding the Purpose of an Edit Button in Online Posts

An edit button allows users to correct typos, update information, or remove their posts easily. It enhances transparency and control over shared content, encouraging clearer communication. Using the edit feature helps maintain accuracy without the need to delete and repost, fostering better online interactions.

Yeah I've been on this site for a couple of years now & I'm surprised that they STILL DON'T have an "edit" button. Even the most brilliant spellers mispell things every once in a while. Sheesh. Yeah there's the "hide" button, BUT the that button serves a completely different purpose. Plus, it takes up too much space, especially if all someone wanted to do was retype 1 or 2 words & go back to their position in line for their post.

I love Dxp & all but sheeeeesh, would it really KILL you guys to add 1 more little feature?! I mean it's not like it requires lots of technology to do so. Sheeesh!

If there was an option to Edit your posts, it should indicate the time & date that the post was edited so that people don't abuse it &(EX: someone edits their post in the middle of a debate & denies ever posting those words/ideas).
