Help make this page clearer

Two short answers; GitHub will open a draft for your review. No Forms, token, or automatic submission.

This repository is public. Review the text and image for private details. Opening the draft sends text/context to GitHub in its URL. Pasting or attaching an image uploads it to GitHub immediately.

Describe the desired outcome in plain text. This becomes the issue's ### Objective. After reviewing the issue, a maintainer can add azure-backlog to queue it for a scheduled agent; the website does not add that label or start a run.
