Elements: look first, edit on purpose

Only the parts of the library that change. Clicking an Element no longer drops you into a form: it opens the Element to look at, with Use and Edit. Editing and History are steps inside the same dialog, each with a way back.

Try it — click through the app Fake data. Nothing is saved.

The flow

Click an Element tile ① View Use → bound to a card or Edit → ② Edit Element ← Back or History → ③ History ← Back

① View, not a form. Pictures large, role and use in words, the instructions. Edit and Use at the bottom; History is one line.

① A prompt-only Element leads with its words, under the same T mark as the prompt's reference strip.

② Edit is a step, with Back. Titled “Edit Element” — the name lives only in its field. Back or Cancel with unsaved edits asks first; Save lands back on the view.

③ History is its own step. Every save is kept; Restore makes an older one current again. A long list scrolls once and never stretches the view.

Library tiles show what an Element is at a glance: its pictures, or its words with the T mark.

Use puts the Element on a card straight from the view, as today's “Use as reference” does.
