Would you like me to remove this entire Improve Airgap section as it isn't really required anymore if you use a QR code instead of downloading the JSON file.

I think it makes sense eventually, but for now QR isn't fully converged on. Hopefully soon!

| Specter-Desktop can receive this info via QR-code airgap. | ||
| DVDs are less able to execute malware on your computer |

Is this intentional? Having an option A without an Option B is confusing.
I think we still want to list both options, until QR-code adoption is universal (many HW wallets with cameras for example). Some users are on desktops without webcams! Maybe we can make QR-code the preferred option?

| 1. Scroll down to `Export Public Key Info To Specter Desktop` and click on the `Download` button. | ||
| This will download a `json` file to your computer, containing the extended public key info. | ||
| Save the file to a DVD-R or USB drive to later share with Specter-Desktop. |

I think saving along the way is a good idea (even if not strictly required), so you can reverify on the display of each hardware wallet.
Maybe these steps need more detail? I've been waiting on a good 3rd hardware wallet.

| ## Export Public Key Info to Specter-Desktop |

Maybe we need two separate steps (one for QR and one for doing it via a file)?

That's a good idea. I'll update it to have 2 seperate steps so users can choose their preferred way.

Some people might have used Tails to generate the seed picker phrase. In that case, once the QR is displayed, you would want to take a picture of it with your cellphone, and then back on your specter installation, you would scan the cellphone picture with the computer webcam |

Updated the documentation to show how to export a public key from seedpicker using a QR code to improve the airgap.
