Ah, that is the same editor, just in logged in mode.

If you were to create a publicly accessible link, and use that to
access the document then you'd get a view that looks exactly like the
one I created.
In the logged in version you get the ability to see things like prior
versions (accessible through the sidebar, which you can open by
clicking the icon in the top right)

If you're missing any controls then you may need to perform a force
refresh (Ctrl + F5).
