We can see an edit history of a post, but how do you revert to a past version?

When editing a proposal, I noticed that there isn't actually a link for doing it. I can see a diff of past versions, but when I copy/paste that into a new edit, the formatting is broken.

There should be a way for all users to revert at least their own edits. Or alternatively, there should be a page for viewing the raw content of a past version (so that you can copy/paste without adjusting).

Raw text of previous versions (1 comment)
Raw text of previous versions

I agree that having the raw text of previous versions available would be a good workaround until we have a revert button. I'd also find it useful for other purposes, so I'd like to see it implemented either way.
