I want to understand the options in 'Edit Post Type' Options panel.
Where can I find the documentation for this? All of the linked documentation is very high-level 'courses' at the moment...

Hi Jamal,
The last one is the only one of those which describes the options at all. I think it would be worth referencing that page from the documentation, to help anyone wondering what those tickboxes do.

Thanks for your help.
