Looking great so far! I always enjoy how you include the narration and the little code snippets -- they are digestible but so powerful!

### Cursor crosshair

Ever use the [grid mode](https://napari.org/stable/gallery/grid_mode.html#grid-mode) for your miltichannel data but then struggle to know where you're clicking? Struggle no more! You can now enable the new crosshair overlay ([#8017](https://github.com/napari/napari/pull/8017)) to always locate your exact position in every viewbox.

Do you also struggle to figure out where your cursor is located when in 3D view?
The crosshair overlay helps with that too!
Unfortunately, it doesn't help make positioning the cursor any less confusing.
For that, we ask for your help in making napari better!

I think we should shy away from that for now, as we figure out whether the cursor as a stateful model is even a thing we want to keep around. Also, it really is just "bad" in 3d for now, so let's not bring attention to it XD

Side note: we should probably update our sample data to have units and axis annotations now! 😅

I didn't realize at first what @TimMonko meant in [this
comment](napari/docs#1165 (comment)),
but now I get the issue. We should bump `Breaking changes` up above new
features, since we usually have some text for `highlights`, we might
have some for `breaking changes` but we'll likely not have any for the
new features section (covered in highlights).

In general, breakign changes should usually be high up.
