How does `revalidatePath('/blog/[slug]', 'page')` differ from `revalidatePath('/blog/my-post')`?

✓Correct answer: The first covers all pages of the pattern, the second one specific path
2No difference: the second argument 'page' is simply ignored
3The first invalidates only the layout, the second only the page

Explanation

If you pass a pattern with a dynamic segment, you must specify the type 'page' or 'layout', and invalidation affects all paths matching the pattern. A specific path invalidates one page. revalidatePath('/', 'layout') resets the whole app.
