Hi Caroline Whether instructional designer or tech writer, basic rule applies... keep it simple and make it easy to follow and read. Ultimately I think the decision will probably be made by Jean or Olivier but I found the more I was reading yesterday in that section of the chapter, the difficult it got to follow but then I didn’t have a break.
Your last comment says the apply option is in bold. It wasn’t until I changed it but in hindsight as it’s not a button, maybe it should be in italics.
