I like it too! And then no matter what they do to the interface you should
be covered for future versions!
Sometimes I think we overthink things. LOL

I like it! More concise than mine. I think I am in the habit of telling
people to "use X to do Y" so that there is no confusion about who is
supposed to perform the task. I think part of that habit is from taking old
docs and flipping passive language to something more active.
