How could the content be improved?

In Episode 5, Profiling Your MARC data:

The capitalisation of the title might be better as "Profiling your MARC data" to match with the other episode titles
In the [Overview Reports section](https://librarycarpentry.github.io/lc-marcedit/05-profiling-your-MARC-data.html#overview-reports):
    The Run Find Records checklist should explicitly mention the dropdown list is from the "Find Records By Type" option in the menu
    In the Locate Errors challenge, Field Count would probably be better with both words capitalised to minimise ambiguity (especially in the solution)
In the [Edit functions section](https://librarycarpentry.github.io/lc-marcedit/05-profiling-your-MARC-data.html#edit-functions):
    In the Run Find Records With Duplicate Tags Function checklist, I had to enter a "Find Data Tools" dropdown in my version of MarcEdit (7.7) in between steps 3 and 4
    As above for the Run Find Records Missing Field Function checklist
    For the Correct the Missing 245 Field challenge, the solution should contain what the corrected record looks like
The Validation and Log Reports section feels like a wall of text and would probably benefit from reformatting
The Key Points feels a bit lacking - perhaps reviewing the most important of the reports could work here?
