!!! warning
Enabling orphaned resource monitoring has performance implications. If an AppProject monitors a namespace containing many resources not managed by Argo CD (e.g. `kube-system`), it can significantly impact your Argo CD instance. Enable this feature only on projects with well-scoped namespaces.

I would move the warning below the Steps to enable viewing Orphaned Resources.
