Here are some things I think I noticed in the current version of the
dissect labs:

-----------
The first question I thought of, while going through Dissect Lab I,
was: how do I unselect a selection?   (I eventually noticed the <<
button at the top, but that took me a while. The closest to
documentation of how to unselect that I noticed is the suggestion to
hover over stuff to see their tooltips. But perhaps this should be
made more obvious?)

Also:
-----------
Chapter 5, 1 of 9:

"... and the shape of a result-cell in white on a blue background"

(looks more like a purple or indigo background, to me)

Chapter 5, 2 of 9:

"... and the shape of a result-cell is in white type on a purple background."
-----------
Chapter 8, 2 of 4:

"Click on a result row in the right-hand (%) verb to see how the row
was calculated."

Can't select rows in the result of the right-hand % - can only select atoms.
-----------
Chapter 10, 2 of 11:

"Click on the name (W) in the result of the (>) verb."

Can't select that W

[I'm repeating myself from a code point of view, but I do not know if
you want to change the implementation of dissect, or if you want to
change the lab.]
-----------
-----------
Dissect Lab II

Chapter 4, 1 of 2

"...computes tha factorial..."
-----------
Chapter 5, 5 of 5

"(~.@[ ,. +/&.:>/.) is a hook..."

It's a fork.
