Document key concepts that are common to each subtopic in the topic overview.
Consider consolidating common procedures into one procedure that works for all the subtopics.
(This only works if the variations in the procedure are minimal.) ```
I'd be wary of pulling out common procedures. Unless they're identical every time and you provide
a link in each platform-specific topic, this will get messy. That said, it's a judgement call whether
it's worse to redirect the user in the middle of a procedure, to include variations in inline sub-procedures,
or to cut and paste boilerplate text.
Common background or conceptual information absolutely belongs in the introduction.
Again, recommend the solution, not the implementation.

I think putting the definition next to the number makes the table cleaner and more understandable.
