I'm confused as to how dynamic routing works in Next 13 now. Do I absolutely have to have a folder in order for a page to be dynamic?
I'm working with a headless CMS and some pages will be created at the root. Does this mean I need a "/pages/" folder now? And then under that a [slug] folder?

@Yi Lon Ma - I'm still not understanding it, though. Like I said, I need the pages to be at the root, but all the examples are giving me "create a blog folder and then a [slug] folder and then a page.js file".
