Which is which when start editing (SDE geodatabase)?

Question

In the screenshot below, the only distinction between the SDE geodatabase is the user by which the data is accessed and it is not indicated anywhere! Then how to know where we are when start editing?

1. Access the �??H3�?� with �??Sa�?� user

[ATTACH=CONFIG]21242[/ATTACH]

2. Accessing the �??H3�?� with �??e1�?� user

[ATTACH=CONFIG]21240[/ATTACH]

3. Drag and drop one feature (from each user) on the ArcMap then �??Start editing�?�, then which is which?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]21241[/ATTACH]

Thank you for the help,

Best

I had the same problem. You can right click on the layer in table of contents->Edit Features->Start Editing.
That will start an edit session on that layer's workspace.

Thank you Paul for the contribution.

Even in case we apply the start editing from the right click, we still don�??t know where we are!

What I mean is that there should be a way to include the name of the user by which that feature class (or version) is accessed! This is a good distinction.
