confusing buttons when adding a new synopsis

I was confused, when attempting to add a synopsis, with the phrase "check these updates".  I thought your website was claiming that my computer needed to download stuff from Microsoft or something -- I would not normally press any such button out of fear of phishing attacks. Luckily, I saved the text of my synopsis change into a file on my computer.  After abandoning the session, and coming back a few days later, I tried again.  this time, I  gave in and tried pressing the confusing "check these updates" button.  This time it let me see the changes that I typed in.  Then a NEW button showed up and let me finish the process.

I suggest that the wording should say "review YOUR changes", not "check these updates".  the pronoun "these" is too confusing for me at least.

Thank you for letting add this synopsis.  Though and old made for tv movie, I have remembered its plot fondly for all these years and am glad to get to contribute to its memory!

I don't find this confusing in the least.

The wording "Check these updates" may make much more sense for any other kind of editing (actors, titles, dates, etc.). Especially after having tried at least once, since the system performs a consistency check such as: IMDb syntax, reconciliation with already existing data, etc.
For the sake of consistency, I would expect to find the same wording for synopsis submission.
