Hi – so, it appears that the element library has some limits that I’m hoping could be addressed in a future release.

1. Inability to edit an element name
2. Inability to replace an element in the library
3. Inability to see if an element already exists or to overwrite before saving.
4. The ‘search’ that comes up when you go to paste an existing element appears to be a custom query and isn’t available through a course editor or asset library search. It would be helpful if elements could be accessible through these other views and not just in the simulation editor.
