Overview

Provide an overview of why an account must be configured. For example, "You must configure the SnapLogic Account to connect to your XYZ instance..." Provide the list of supported account types along with a one liner on when/why they must be used. This is to give the user some idea of which account type better suits their purpose. Account type's purpose should be direct and minimal. Include links where necessary. Retain the "See Accounts..." sentence, include the overview above this sentence. Replace "XYZ" with the Snap Pack's name. Look at the Screenshot Style Guide ( https://mysnaplogic.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DT/pages/829554758/SnapLogic+Documentation+Style+Guide+for+Images--DRAFT+FOR+COMMENT) for guidance on screenshots.
