    Description

      I recently used this guide to bring an instance back up, and the step by step procedure worked very smoothly, I was really happy about that. However, I did run into difficulties and would like to suggest a couple of improvements so that as much information as possible is available for future emergency situations (for me or others).

      Make session.save() bold or red

      Tweaking a node and leaving it there unchanged is a frequent source of wasted time during development. Forgetting to save the session is even more likely to happen under stress. I would suggest highlighting it one way or another.

      Describe how to tweak a property

      The steps describe how to remove a stray node, but a more realistic situation would be to tweak a property, for instance: set a problematic filter's enabled property to false. Under stress and without any IDE help, I struggled to find the syntax to read a property's value: node.getProperty('enabled').getString().

      node.setProperty('property', 'newValue') was a bit more easy to figure out, but it would have been even easier if they both had been on the page.
