Great changes!
Really appreciate the addition of more examples :)

```{admonition} Example
If you want to install `napari-svg` from a specific release, enter `napari-svg==0.1.0` in the text field.
```

Suggested change
```{admonition} Installing with Optional Dependency Groups
To install a plugin with a group of option dependencies, use the optional group in brackets. If you want to install `napari-svg` with the optional testing group, enter `napari-svg[testing]` in the text field.
```

I find this might be the most common use of the test field with users I know -- because optional groups otherwise can't be installed from GUI.

Maybe napari-svg isn't the best example because its only optional is testing. Something like napari-nD-annotator[bbox] might be more informative?

Adding your existing suggestion to the batch for commit. I think your suggestion about the annotator is a good one. Happy to commit if you add it as a second example.
