It feels a little strange to me that we describe two steps rather vaguely
and then give exact SQL for the third step.  How about, say,

HINT: To initiate replication, you must manually create the replication
slot, enable the subscription, and refresh the subscription.

Another idea is

HINT: To initiate replication, create the replication slot on the
publisher, then run ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... ENABLE and ALTER
SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION.
