@gashcrumb, Please have a look at this PR. I have made some changes to incorporate the following sections:
|
| * Declare a new full page by defining a new route | ||
| * Extend to an existing page using router bindings | ||
| * Use mount points within the application | ||
| * Provide additional utility APIs or replace existing ones |

I'm not sure is it worth adding mention of the SignInPage, scaffolder or techdocs extensions etc in this list? This seems like a high-level overview of features, so maybe it doesn't need to be an exhaustive list I guess.
| * `/context` type that serves to create React contexts | ||
| * `/cards` type for regular React components | ||

| The following is an example of the overall configuration structure of a mount point: |

I wonder if this section that focuses on mount points would be better in the "using mount points section", as they're used across the app, whereas entity tabs are limited to only catalog items. I was just reminded too that the conditional viewing of a component is done as part of the mount point configuration, which could almost warrant it's own section as there's a few conditional functions that are available and we probably could go into a little more detail on what's possible with the conditional functions for mount points.,

Would it be worth linking to here for folks wondering how to create these?
