Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Section Number and Name: 

Multiple occurrences

Describe the issue: 

We tell the reader what not to do, but not what to do.

We have this in the "Before You Begin" section

Ensure that you do not delete the manifest from the Customer Portal or in the Satellite Web UI because this removes all the entitlements of your content hosts.

I think that can stay as it is, but later in the procedure we have:

If you get an error when trying to update the Satellite Tools repository, make sure you do not delete the manifest from the Customer Portal or in the Satellite Web UI because this removes all the entitlements of your content hosts. 

Suggestions for improvement: 

Change all occurrences of:

If you get an error when trying to update the Satellite Tools repository, make sure you do not delete the manifest from the Customer Portal or in the Satellite Web UI because this removes all the entitlements of your content hosts. 

to:

If you get an error when trying to update a repository, ensure you do not delete the manifest from the Customer Portal or in the Satellite Web UI because this removes all the entitlements of your content hosts. Refresh the manifest and if the problem persists, raise a support request.

Additional information: 

This also make the warning more generic, its not only for Tools Repo problems.
