I knew mods had access to the timeline button, but I didn't recall if regular users did. Then I quickly checked a different SE (where I am a regular user) and it was there. So I add a bit about that. I didn't realize Glorfindel♦ had covered it, otherwise I would have left my answer alone. :) Also, we encourage waiting longer before accepting an answer, so no need to worry.
Please see my edits regarding the revisions page and how to get there. I was hesitant to include the timeline page because it is somewhat obscure as far as I remember. That button seems to have been implemented somewhat recently for regular users(?). Because I don't recall that being there before, unless I'm mistaken.
This is slightly touched upon in our Contributor's Guide (Answering). Anyone is welcome to update it with community-accepted guidance (e.g. whatever results from this thread, guidance from the linked post, etc). I think the focus was more on the asking side when it started, but we shouldn't forget/neglect the answering side, as you're mentioning here.
