Paragraph starting with "The property panels that let you for example": there's a mix of tone here, with the use of "could". Is it about things that were done, or things that have yet to be done? The overall tone of the section suggests it's about things that were done, so "could" items don't really fit. "The third group are non-modal dialogs" -> (recommending, to get around is/are) "The third group consists of non-modal dialogs" "extensions can add new decks" -> (suggesting) "extensions can now add new decks" " there may no yet be a panel" -> " there may not yet be a panel" Seconding Rory on the "what the user, you, is currently doing".
