Thanks @tyson-swetnam!

I didn't know there was this functionality in the DE. While adding this link via the button does remove a few steps from the previous instructions, there are still a few missing from the revised version for someone just starting to use the DE, especially if they're not already logged in. I added those as suggestions.

As someone who has struggled to get started with programs due to installation instructions that gloss over specifics, I think it's pretty important to provide these so that people don't get discouraged and give up before they've actually started doing something.

Out of curiousity, how stable is that link? (@tyson-swetnam might be able to answer that)

re: cognitive load of looking at DE for first time -- I wholly agree, there is too much going on when that quick launch opens for the first time. I've spoken with our Core SW folks about this UX, haven't got a resolution yet. re quicklaunch badge: The link should be permanent - unless someone with admin privileges deletes the App in the DE. You can create multiple quicklaunches from the same app though, by clicking on the 'Create Quick Launch' button in the app. the update would be to just change the URL in the badge in Markdown. For a container using the 'latest' tag, any updates to the DockerHub image should be passed to the container that is pulled the next time it launches in the DE.

@dlebauer have you had a chance to look at this?
