How does this example work: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/fetching-caching-and-revalidating#example

I thought the revalidate export could only appear in a Page, Layout or Route Segment?

The docs is wrong apparently: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/54434

no, revalidatePath works well in app routing...

I thought you couldn't use that outside of Route Segments and server actions?
i'll give it a try

Please pay attention to what OP has been discussing. It's not about the revalidatePath function, it's about the revalidate route segment config option, which is something entirely different.
