全体内容の統一性
What your quote saying is:
When you are writing manual, you must use same word to mean same thing. Also when even A happened in the past, and event B is going to happen tomorrow, you have to clearly differentiate the chronological course of two events (tense). Also you have to use either passive form or active form. Do not mix them up. This is consistency 〔統一性）.
By keeping these consistent, the readers would not be confused about timelines, and who is doing what.

Typo -- "Even A" is wrong, "Event A" is correct.
"clearly differentiate" is wrong, "clearly and differentiate" is correct.
