These look a little wonky (screenshot below). Might be fine, we use them in a couple other articles, but wanted to call it out in case it wasn't what you were expecting.

Oh, interesting! I'm not sure why the original author included those in this article. I don't feel strongly one way or another about those, personally.
When I review the article, I wonder if those are supposed to indicate a break in the different actions listed in the article. Like, "Export Your Insights Data" is a standalone action, separate from "Create a Custom Export Report for Expenses". I wonder if those lines are meant to distinguish that.
Personally, I don't feel blocked on this. What are your thoughts, @maddylewis?
