I added:

the text, it asked me if I wanted to create a section. I had to kill
the buffer and reload it to get it to work. That's fine but I'm
wondering if there is a way to make it active without killing the
buffer. And I also wanted to suggest adding something about that in
the manual.
Perhaps this is a common fact with many of Org modes features that I
missed somewhere?
To tell Org about new keywords like that you need to hit C-c C-c on the keyword
(or restart). This is in "The Very Busy C-c C-c Key" in the manual,¹ and
"Summary of In-Buffer Settings," but the manual is dense and it's easily
overlooked.
However, as a general rule, if you ever want something to happen in Org, try
hitting C-c C-c on the line and it probably will.
Welcome to Org!
