Suggested change
* View errata on the hosts page and compare the errata of the current content view environment to the Library lifecycle environment, which contains the latest synchronized packages.
* View errata on the *All Hosts* page and compare the errata of the current content view environment to the Library lifecycle environment, which contains the latest synchronized packages.

I'm not sure if one can actually compare errata between CVEnvs on the All Hosts page?
Perhaps this practice will have to be rewritten more thoroughly.

I think "content hosts page" meant the detail page. You can compare errata on the new host details page > Content tab > Errata tab. Then use the toggle group to select "Applicable" / "Installable". (Applicable corresponds to Library, while Installable only shows errata in the host's content view environments that is available to install.) Note that you will not see the toggle group if the host is subscribed to Library and Default Organization View.

Shouldn't there be a separate procedure for that? This is too much detail to include in best practices.

The best I can do for now is this.

That's fair. This was written ages ago, so I'm sure another look is long overdue.
