Thanks for the suggestion @lhirlimann! However, I don't think we should make this change. I would have expected that it is already clear enough that you do indeed need to choose a snapshot to restore as part of this process. Your PR suggests that this wasn't the case for you, in which case I think this needs to be called out much earlier on this page. The section about listing the available snapshots looks like a much better location for this info.

Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal 🙂

I was following the numbers to restore a cluster - in I'm in a hurry mode , cluster is down, and I felt It would be nice to also state that there's a step to look for the proper snapshot to be searched and found.
