#2: Initial revision
You can also switch, the "we" dynamic establishes you and another person, you can also address them individually, or impersonally, as a teacher might. I've done this in highly technical instructional documents (mathematical). But for an example consider some cooking project: > The first thing **we** need to do is Step A, then **we** can do step B, prepare the pan. But beware, after A **many people** are tempted to jump to step C, but **you** don't want to do that, because once **you** finish step C **you** cannot stop to prepare the pan. So once **we** have the pan prepared, then **we** do step C, and when that is blended **we** pour it right in the pan, don't **[you]** let it settle. The emphasis isn't for reading, just to highlight the different forms of address, including an implied [you].
