What is single word for omit the details?

Question

I am writing a manual like below:

do A.
do B.
do C (omit the details).

step 3 is already mentioned in another document, the reader of this manual already knows the details.
so I want to indicate step 3 is only the abbreviation. What is the best word put into ( ? )

In the order of preference:
Choice 1:
Instead of "(omit the details)", write "Refer to section 3.4.1".  That is, give them a "hyperlink" to the information. This seems like the best option.
Choice 2:
If you strongly believe the reader already knows the answer (which might be an incorrect assumption) then just say "do C", and nothing more.
Choice 3:
Write "The details have been omitted" which could be abbreviated as only two words - "details omitted".
