There should be some way to preview changes from an autosave when deciding whether or not to restore them. (We're already returning a preview URL from the API.)

We might also want to add the last modified date and revision author information somewhere.

What should the UX for this look like?

For reference, here is an example of the current flow for restoring:

  1. Go to https://wordpress.com/posts and open an already published post
  2. Make any change to the post and wait for a localStorage autosave to trigger
  3. Browse away from the editor and click "OK" if prompted to leave the page without saving changes
  4. Re-open the same post
  5. Note that a prompt is given offering to restore the post but there is no option to view changes before restoring

Not sure is it still relevant as new history revisions were released.

It's still relevant, but this is a duplicate. Closing in favor of #542.
