Is there a reason why we have 3 categories with only a single tutorial in each of them?

This page has 3 instructions in it ("open the window > enable a virtual player > wait and then press next"), which makes handholding difficult. In-Editor Tutorials are meant to be "step-by-step" and to validate that the user has done what you're asking them to do. I'd break down the "open MPPM" and "enable virtual player + wait" in two different pages.

We are instructing the user to open MPPM, but the tutorial also opens it for us. If we guide the user, the tutorial window should not be open automatically and we should check, using IET's Criteria feature, that the user opened the window, and then autoadvance to the next tutorial page when they do.
If we don't guide the user, there's no point in adding "go to window, etc..." instructions.

We do not "create" virtual players, we "enable" them.

I'd recommend to use the same approach we used in the Anticipation sample (and described here ) to highlight a specific virtual player (4, in this case), instead of highlighting the entire window
i see that you figured out how to check if the checkbox of a player has been enabled, using IsVirtualPlayerCreated, which is very smart! (we'll have to implement that approach too in the Anticipation tutorial of Use Cases), but unfortunately we can't check the status (activating/inactive) of players (there's no API for it), so we'll have to ask the user to wait a bit.
You can recycle the copy from this tutorial:

| Note: Virtual Players do not automatically deactivate | ||
| when you close the Virtual Player window. To deactivate a Virtual Player, | ||
| deselect the checkbox for the active Virtual Player. |

Suggestion: isn't it "of the" instead of "for the"?

| Continue | ||
| to the next tutorial to learn how to use Network Scene Visualization.' |

Is "Network Scene Visualization" correct? The button says "Content selection"

Suggestion: we can probably get rid of this sentence (it's implicit as you got here, and also the 1st paragraph mentions it) and directly put the "Select Done to exit this tutorial."
