  • I just found [a post](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/279648) that has a suggested edit pending in it:
  • >![Post with a "suggested edit pending"](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/DtQdBAyzbQnjUFKVpXLxSREU)
  • The problem is that I don't have the privilege to review edits (or whatever name it has) so clicking on it does not produce any output.
  • Should I be able to see the suggested edit?
