Ledger Wallet 4.0 should be read as a dated approval-flow note. The important idea is not a visual change alone; it is the relationship between app prompt, Clear Signing context, device-screen review, and the record kept after approval. The device screen remains the place where device-side confirmation should be understood.
Clear Signing makes the screen more readable
Clear Signing is useful because it helps users read more context before approving a device-side action. It does not remove the need to check source and screen. Read the app prompt first, then compare the device screen before treating the action as ready.
The Secure Element explainer is helpful background for understanding why device-side confirmation remains central in the Ledger workflow.
Ledger Wallet and the device screen have separate roles
Ledger Wallet gives entry, progress, and explanation. The device screen confirms the action that belongs to the hardware. If the app prompt and screen do not line up, pause and identify whether the issue is app layer, firmware layer, or a different workflow step.
- Record Ledger Wallet version and visible prompt.
- Read the device screen before approval.
- Keep completion state in a short local note.
Version notes should not become current-latest claims
This article should preserve the historical reading path for Ledger Wallet 4.0. If the visible prompt belongs to a later app version, use the same method but check the current app entry. The app versus firmware update guide helps separate app UI changes from device firmware changes.
Approval records keep the workflow auditable
After the check, keep a concise record: date, app version, device model, source path, screen wording, and final state. That record is enough to compare future prompts while keeping secret backup information out of the note.
