(Yes, that's what he means)

No.

(No.)

That's what it does...:-)

It's not partially.

As I said earlier: when you have the box checked, your slider adjustments
show up in the soft proof as well as the prints. (-All- of your slider
adjustments). When the box isn't checked, your slider adjustments are prevented
from showing up in the soft proof, but (as you would expect) they still
show up in prints through the profile.

The word "Edits", in "Show Edits", corresponds to the complete set of slider
adjustments that you see on that screen.
