Is it possible to have the button on the same row as text? Or is it a shared component that cannot be changed?

| Data Streams Monitoring (DSM) extracts transaction IDs from HTTP request/response headers and Kafka produced/consumed message headers. When an individual transaction's ID is available in headers across all services with a checkpoint, DSM can follow the transaction across these services until its completion. |

I want to make sure the extractors are not a blocker since we can add new ones if there's demand. Maybe rephrase to something like:
...extracts transaction IDs from sync (like HTTP request/response) and async (like Kafka produced/consumed) message headers.

Is it possible to add a screenshot of the outcome before the creation process? I can provide a good screenshot (our demo env is a bit unstable so need to look at a good data point). Things to highlight:
- Summary metrics - monitor business transactions SLO breaches, success rate, and latency
2. Identify individual transaction IDs breaching SLO so you can take action
3. Find APM traces of transactions to speed up troubleshooting
This could be repetitive to the value prop mentioned above so lmk if you have thoughts on how to incorporate without duplicating

Is this line and the "Click Done" line meant to be indented with no bullet or numbered list? Just looks a little off to me.
