How can a user purge their own draft edit? Currently if there are intervening edit conflicts, the user will get a pop up warning and instruction to use "show changes" to reveal the changes since the draft was saved, but no way that I can find to purge their own out-dated draft copy or easy way to merge the other changes.

Using the Visual Editor to make a change bypasses the draft but just adds another intervening edit conflict to the draft, essentially ruling out any future source or classic edits to that page by that user.

Saving my (outdated) draft gave me no edit conflict warning, it just saved the old version over top of any more recent edits - including one I made myself in the Visual Editor. So I guess save and undo works to purge my unwanted draft copy, but that's pretty ridiculous. EDIT You need to allow pop-ups from fandom.com to get the following option. I don't let any site use pop ups, sorry Fandom. You need a better method.
