Importing data and modifying tables somewhat unclear in instructions #341

In preparation for taking this workshop, I tried to create a new directory and import the .csv files in DB Browser to make sure I had everything downloaded properly, but struggled to get things to work out based on just the written instructions (even though they are very thorough!). This specific section may benefit from a screen grab to help guide people through this process as they're getting used to using the DB Browser GUI, especially since this portion of the episode is directed to as an option to work through before the workshop to verify everything is correctly downloaded.

Thanks for the feedback.

If I can clarify, was the main issue that it was unclear where to find the different locations in the DB Browser GUI, corresponding to each step in the "Import" section?

If so: do you think a short video, or a series of screen grabs, would be better ?
