+
+Most transactions are accepted into the next ledger version after they're submitted, which means it may take 4-7 seconds for a transaction's outcome to be final. You should wait for your earlier transactions to be fully validated before proceeding to the later steps, to avoid unexpected failures from things executing out of order. For more information, see [Reliable Transaction Submission](reliable-transaction-submission.html).
+
+**Tip:** Technically, you can configure the hot address in parallel with configuring the issuer address. For simplicity, this tutorial waits for each transaction one at a time.

+## Memos
+
+Transactions sent from interactive tutorials automatically attach a memo indicating what button of which tutorial sent the memo. Anyone who is watching Testnet/Devnet transactions can look for these memos to see when people are using the tutorials.
+
+The memo is identified by a `MemoType` that decodes to the URL of this document:

+MemoType (ASCII-decoded):

+
+The memo has a `MemoFormat` value of `6170706C69636174696F6E2F6A736F6E` (hex), which represents the MIME type `application/json`.
+
+The memo has a `MemoData` field which is ASCII-encoded JSON containing the following data:
+
+| Field | Type | Contents |
+|---|---|---|
+| `path` | String | The `window.location.pathname` of the tutorial. For example, `/send-xrp.html`. |
+| `button` | String | The unique html ID of the button that triggered this transaction. For example, `submit-button`. |
+
+For privacy reasons, the memo does not and MUST NOT include personally identifying information about the user or their browser.
+
+**Note:** The interactive tutorial code assumes that the path and ID are both possible to encode with plain ASCII, so please avoid using non-ASCII characters in the IDs and filenames.
