Can you please explain this discrepancy in MS documentation?

This page (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-and-edit-an-agent-d16c6ca1-a8e3-4096-af49-67e1cfdddd42) states you can edit an existing agent by adding/removing site, PAGES, and files the agent should reference. However, the only options for sources are ENTIRE sites (not just single pages), libraries and files.

Additionally, this page (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/frequently-asked-questions-about-copilot-in-sharepoint-eb1b7668-3d98-4a93-98ef-f0c6dfc694f0) under the question "What files are supported by agents?" there is a note that you can't add pages from the Site Pages library as a source.

To me, these don't match up and I have not been able to find a way to scope an agent to a specific SharePoint page. What am I missing here?

You have the ability to target document libraries which potentially can contains the files listed in the doc that you shared.

Here I made a video how you can ground a SharePoint list:
