Description

Connected to [editing a submission](https://github.com/orgs/getodk/projects/10/views/2?pane=issue&itemId=86585011&issue=getodk%7Cweb-forms%7C247)

We may want to give the user the ability to switch or toggle between view-only to editing a submission.
We need to think carefully about language here. This is viewing a submission, not previewing a form definition.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked “editing a submission” issue and the Figma design for the proposed view-only and editing states. Clarify the terminology and the switching or toggle behavior with the project maintainers; done means an agreed interaction and language specification is recorded for implementation.
