Numbers in depth
Every control and text of Numbers, Messaging Services and the number editor.
Every control and text this screen shows, in screen order. The list is read from the demo by a crawl, and CI fails when the screen changes without its entry here.
Numbers holds the fake phone numbers your app owns, with their webhooks, and the Messaging Services that pool them.
The screen as a whole: Numbers.
The numbers match the entries below. The picture shows the first screenful; controls further down, and texts, have no marker.
