Please add a note directly inside the West Workspace image indicating that "Fetch West Blobs" should be unchecked. The separate text placed above the image is easy to overlook, whereas adding the instruction within the image itself will make it much more noticeable to users.

**Step 4** - Select the toolchain (SDK Latest version : 0.17.4)

The command west blobs fetch hal_microchip is not being rendered as a code snippet in the Markdown output. Instead, it appears as ~~~west blobs fetch hal_microchip~~~. Please format it as inline code (or a code block) so users can easily copy it to the clipboard.

Instead of keeping the Python scripts in the Workbench_images folder (which primarily contains .png image files), would it be possible to create a separate folder, for example openocd_python_scripts, either at the same level or within the documentation directory? This would keep the images and scripts organized separately. Additionally, please add direct links to these Python scripts in the documentation so users can download them easily.
