 ### Fixed
 
+- Examples
 - Collection Assets were specified as required (only in written text, not in JSON Schema), but that was incorrectly copied over from the former `collection-assets` extension. Collection Assets are not required.
 - Clarified that the values in summaries (both for ranges and sets of values) must follow the data type of the property they summarize. ([#1069](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec/pull/1069))
