What is the improvement or update you wish to see?

The documentation states that when calling revalidatePath, if the path contains a dynamic segment, the type argument should be set to page. However, it seems to work just fine with the layout mode as well. It only fails to work if the page argument is not provided at all.

Is there any context that might help us understand?

Clarification is needed on whether page is the sole valid type value for revalidatePath for the dynamic segment, or if layout is also acceptable.

Does the docs page already exist? Please link to it.
