The menu item is capitalized as of Electrum ABC 5.1.5 "Avalanche Proof Editor"

109 ↗(On Diff #34839)

Because of the payout address bug fixed in 5.1.5, we should add a 2b: check again all fields after loading the proof, and adjust parameters if necessary (but don't touch the master_pub or expiration time) step, or alternatively update this doc to mention 5.1.5 as the minimum required version for Electrum ABC.

The bug will affect users who customized the payout address during Step 1 (skeleton proof generation): the address will be reset to the default one generated by the proof wallet.

How verbose are the avalanche debugging logs? Should we mention that users should periodically deleted their debug.log file to avoid filling the disk space?

Depends on the expected timing, but would it make sense to request 0.26.x instead ? Because node operators will need to upgrade anyway.

I will remove this at this stage of the doc, or add a comment like # See details below
