This page is ready and scheduled for publishing on the release date. I could not find the Archive-PostType template UI in my version with the 2023 theme. Hence that has not been added to the doc. Ps review

The update looks good to me 👍

Very thorough! Excellent work @femkreations.

For the category-specific Template, it would be more intuitive to show more categories in the screenshot.

In the resource links section, I would remove the link to the GoDaddy tutorial and add links to the Learn.WordPress.org site:
Workshops
Creating a landing page with a block theme
Personalizing your 404 template
Courses:
Simple Site Design with Full Site Editing
Personalized Site Design with Full Site Editing and Theme Block
Advanced Site Design with Full Site Editing: Site Editor, Templates and Template Parts

Just saw this:

I could not find the Archive-PostType template UI in my version with the 2023 theme.

The Archive post Type is only available when a site has a Custom Post Type other than post or page, like movie or book. The theme/plugin would need to create the Custom post Type first via code.

You could add something like:
"Should your site also include a so-called Custom Post Type, like movie, book or recipe, you will also be able to create separate template for those archive pages or single posts." - or something like that.

Updated the page with the archive template details for custom post types and the Resources section with the workshops and courses in learn. Also updated the screenshot to show the templates for category.
