Hi Shalaka,
just minor things. Thanks!

This should not be a procedure. I'd keep it a single para this time and not add any list here.

<screen>&prompt.sudo; systemctl restart cockpit.socket</screen>
<para>Check for Service Failures: If a specific service fails to start, the <guilabel>Applications</guilabel> page will display the relevant systemd error logs directly on the screen to assist with debugging.</para>
