+### Element Defaults Hierarchy
+
+UI elements use a three-tier defaults system:
+
+```
+element_type_defaults (Global)
+        │
+        │ auto-snapshot on project creation
+        ▼
+project_element_defaults (Project)
+        │
+        │ applied when creating elements
+        ▼
+tour_pages.ui_schema_json (Instance)
+```
+
+1. **Global** (`element_type_defaults`) - Platform-wide defaults for 11 element types (navigation, tooltip, gallery, etc.). Auto-seeded on first API access.
+
+2. **Project** (`project_element_defaults`) - Per-project overrides. Automatically snapshotted from global when a project is created. Can be customized independently.
+
+3. **Instance** (`tour_pages.ui_schema_json`) - Page-specific elements with their settings stored inline. Created in constructor with project defaults applied.
+
+**Additional Endpoints:**
+- `POST /api/project-element-defaults/:id/reset` - Reset to current global default
+- `GET /api/project-element-defaults/:id/diff` - Compare with global default
+
 ### Publishing Workflow
 
 Three-tier environment model for content: `dev` → `stage` → `production`

@@ -243,7 +245,13 @@ Element types follow a three-tier defaults system:
 
 The constructor fetches project defaults via `/api/project-element-defaults?projectId=xxx` and merges them when creating new elements. Existing element values in `ui_schema_json` take precedence over defaults.
