Since Sage 7.0, the SageAppliance launches the Jupyter
notebook, instead of the Sage notebook in previous versions.
When that version came out, the instructions Sage wiki page
had not been updated. Users were somewhat puzzled.
Questions on sage-support and Ask Sage included [2].

https://ask.sagemath.org/question/32344/vm-virtualbox-sage-70ova-how-to-start/
Seeing that, I decided to split the SageAppliance instructions,
formerly at [3], into three subpages to at least make it clear
which version the instructions were written for.

I wrote the part "someone please adapt the final steps".
The adaptation that is needed in the final steps is to describe
that the SageApplicance now launches the Jupyter notebook
and no longer the Sage notebook. Plus some screenshots.
A page about the various file formats related to Sage,
how to use them, and their relationships, would also be nice.
I created a draft for such a page at [4], feel free to expand
the items there.
