What does this mean?

If you have source files that require output and figures to be generated (e.g. R Markdown), then it is important to make sure the generated figures and output are reproducible.

This output provides a way for you to inspect the output in a diff-friendly manner so that it's easy to see the changes that occur due to new software versions or randomisation.

Do we want to rename some of the exercises? "Let us" sounds a bit awkward to me now that it's spelt out. What do others think about adjusting and removing "Let us".

Ex. "Add a shortcut to the main window" instead of "Let us add a shortcut to our main window"

I'm going to create another issue just for this. I remember that we wanted to look at exercises in general.
