> Doesn't it [Apply] apply?
Yes, but in general, it is not necessary to use this button, because simply
navigating to another entry is sufficient to "save/apply" a change in an entry
(without having to use the "Apply") button.

At present, "Close" is *not* "Save". If you change a entry (and do not navigate
to another entry) and "Close", then nothing is saved. It is necessary to
"Apply" before "Close".  (afaict, this is the only situation where, at present,
the "Apply" button is actually needed/useful.)

In this case, the "before" state would be index entry before making any editing
changes.  The idea is that if a mistake is made in editing the entry (and you
have not navigated to another entry), then "Reset" would return the entry to
the state it had before editing. This idea would be relevant/necessary if
Proposal 1 is followed (with Save on Close), because "Reset" would be useful
(to allow resetting an edited entry before using "Close").

All these points can be seen/confirmed by using the attachment, which already
has some index entries.
