I've used "Site Preparation" and "Pre-Installation" before....but then
again, I was documenting huge hardware systems. I think the same heading
can be used for your situation.

Subject: Pre-Installation heading

Looking for some feedback on the text for a heading in many of our
installation procedures for our products. They are written in the
imperative format (except for the first one, Parts List).

___Parts List

___Remove Part A
___Remove Part B
___Remove Part C

___Reinstall Part C
___Reinstall Part B
___Reinstall Part A

My issue is that there are times where we need to have a heading prior to
Remove Part A ... often it includes a decision table along the lines of
"which option do you need to remove/replace?" and they jump to Remove Part B
or Remove Part C and skip the ones before it. Or, it could be something such
as removing power from the system and removing supplies inside the machine.

Looking for some suggestions on what to call this heading. We've had a
heading that we're not happy with, but we can't seem to come up with
something we do like, so I thought I'd get ideas from the list and see if
someone else has a better idea.

___Parts List

___WHAT DO I CALL THIS?

___Remove Part A
___Remove Part B
___Remove Part C
