| Now let’s create some view rules to access confdb. | ||

| In our example, we’ll use one snap to configure the network and another to access it, which means we need two views: `configure-wifi` and `access-wifi`. | ||
| In our example, we'll use one snap to host the views and allow configuration of the network, and another snap to access the configuration. This means we will need two views: `configure-wifi` and `access-wifi`. |

Nitpick on "host" which implies "residence". Might be better to say this which is closer to the framing in the reference documentation:

I was trying to make the point that each view needs a custodian snap so it is clear even if you are not going to access it from that snap.
How about "In our example, we'll use one snap as custodian of the two views and allowing changes to the configuration of the network, and another snap to access it. .." ?
