Thanks for this, it's a wonderfully detailed explanation of what you went through - mind putting it into a bug report for me? We have a ton of user testing to do and this is the first breath of air this particularly set up has seen (it didn't even really exist two weeks ago!)
Some of these are things that just completely slipped my mind (e.g. clicking on the helpers), some are things that are just that the platform is so new it doesn't have any documentation, and some are just flat out busted assumptions on our part.
