I have a simple gallery. I can add items to it and update an item when it is selected.

When nothing is selected and an item is to added a simple hint text should be displayed, but when an item is selected I should see that data in the fields to be updated.

How can I do that?

You will have to set default value of input fields, for example for FirstName text input you can set default value to -> Gallery1.Selected.FirstName

Now an item is always staying selected and the fields are filled with that item. The fields are cleared (reset) after something is added or updated, but how do I clear the selection?

OnSelect property of Save button, set a variable varReset to true -> Set(varReset, true)
In default property of First Name add below formula -
If(varReset, "", Gallery1.Selected.FirstName)
And on Gallery OnSelect property, Set varReset to false -> Set(varReset, false)
