Replace one value with Advanced Watchtower data

In Pro Brief, click a displayed value or its ↔ Replace button. The picker shows Replace only this value and names the original value. Choose a data point, record, field, dataset view or saved search, preview it, then select Replace this value. Other values in the same card, its position and its size stay the same. Links, source controls, text selection and drag handles keep their existing actions; use the ↔ button beside linked text.

The replacement has its own label, units, source dates and source details, and is marked Personal replacement. It changes your brief's presentation, not the underlying model, source observations, alerts or Advanced workspace calculations. Use Replace again, Restore original, or the board's Undo. Cancel/Close keeps the existing value. Use a card's Edit control when you want to change the whole card rather than one value.

Find data from Advanced workspaces

Add data → Advanced workspaces lists all78workspace names with their associated datasets and registered points. Choose Browse this workspace data. The source library covers209reviewed dataset definitions and the current registered-point catalogue; workspace associations are built from current module references, documented source links and reviewed mappings. Personal collections retain their native permissions.

The normal All Watchtower, Datasets, Data points and My data choices remain available. Browse source records and individual fields, source views, filters and native history. In Advanced, registered data-point cards now have Add to Pro Brief, which opens that exact point for preview and field selection. Workspace toolbars provide Add data to Pro Brief for applied selections or the workspace's mapped source library.

Available source measurements, text, booleans, missing values, records and nested collections can be selected. Source-native or locally derived presentation values must retain their actual definitions; a workspace association does not turn a client-side calculation into a new source measurement. Binary media, account/ credential operations and unconnected licensed feeds are not ordinary data points.

Stable placement and saved layouts

Value replacements are attached to the original field or record identity, not the next row number. If an original record disappears or its identity is ambiguous, its saved replacement is shown separately in that card and is not reassigned to another row. Anonymous records are tied to their source snapshot. Replacement source bindings retain their own existing stable-ID/fingerprint checks.

Changes survive reload, export/import and explicit account Layout sync. The version4layout reads existing version1/2/3 boards under the same account key and does not rewrite them just by opening the app. Older clients reject unsupported formats. Limits are32replaced values/card,64/board and the existing100KB layout bound. Existing24card and size limits remain. Account changes, replay, stale edits and late requests cannot apply a choice to a different value.

Global record search remains a bounded retained index. Source catalogue and native histories are independently browsable. Source dates, units, missing states and licensing requirements remain visible. Dated snapshots remain explicitly dated.
