Description
There is a disconnect in the user journey depending on whether "Show components" or "Open left side panel" is used.
If the "Show components" button is pressed it (ironically) doesn't show components! It shows the containers, which may contain components but not necessarily so. To add components, the user must then click on "Open left side panel" and then the Components tab to be able to add them. (So, explicitly going to "edit mode")
If the user starts with "Open left side panel", then "Components", when they click on a component in the palette, it automatically switches on "Show components"... (so, implicitly going to "edit mode"...)
Recommendation #1: When a user selects "Show components", automatically open the left-hand panel and display the Components tab.
Recommendation #2: Move to a truly "modal" model - change the title "Show Components" to "Enter edit mode" (Recommendation #1 applies as well) and enter that mode when the user selects the components tab.
