Naming convention mismatch: The navigation instruction standards in HELPSITE_NAMING_CONVENTIONS.md use "Web:" and "Mobile:" as the canonical platform labels (see "If Web and Mobile Navigation Differ" section). This should read **Web:** instead of **On Desktop:** to stay consistent with the governance standard.

1. Open a chat.
2. Right-click a message.
3. Select **Edit comment** or **Delete comment**.
4. If editing, modify the message inline and click **Save**.

Naming convention mismatch: Same as above -- the governance standard in HELPSITE_NAMING_CONVENTIONS.md uses the label format Mobile: (not On Mobile:). Consider changing to **Mobile:** for consistency with the established pattern.

1. Open a chat.
2. Long-press a message.
3. Select **Edit comment** or **Delete comment**.
4. If editing, the message text appears in the composer at the bottom of the screen. Edit it there, then tap the **Send** icon to save your changes.

Readability / step formatting: This step is doing a lot of work -- it describes where the text appears, instructs the user to edit, and then instructs them to tap Send. Per the step formatting standard (HELP_AUTHORING_GUIDELINES.md Section 5), steps should be clear and action-oriented. Consider splitting into two steps for clarity:

4. Edit the message in the composer at the bottom of the screen.
5. Tap the **Send** icon to save your changes.

P2 Badge Use the correct submit icon name for mobile edits

On narrow/mobile layouts, editing a message changes the composer button from Send to Save changes with a checkmark icon (src/pages/inbox/report/ReportActionCompose/ComposerSendButton.tsx sets icon = icons.Checkmark and label = common.saveChanges when editing). This step currently tells users to tap the Send icon, which can misdirect them during the exact flow this update is documenting.
