 You can see how `data` is populated by looking at the `+layout.js` example in the next section just below.

 Throughout the examples above, we've been importing types from a `$types.d.ts` file. This is a file SvelteKit creates for you in a hidden directory if you're using TypeScript (or JavaScript with JSDoc type annotations) to give you type safety when working with your root files.
 
-For example, annotating `let { data } = $props()` with `PageData` (or `LayoutData`, for a `+layout.svelte` file) tells TypeScript that the type of `data` is whatever was returned from `load`:
+For example, annotating `let { data } = $props()` with `PageProps` (or `LayoutProps`, for a `+layout.svelte` file) tells TypeScript that the type of `data` is whatever was returned from `load`:

 <!--- file: src/routes/blog/[slug]/+page.svelte --->
 <script>
-	/** @type {{ data: import('./$types').PageData }} */
+	/** @type {import('./$types').PageProps} */
 	let { data } = $props();
 </script>
 ```
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> The `PageProps` and `LayoutProps` types, added in 2.16.0, are a shortcut for typing the `data` prop as `PageData` or `LayoutData`, as well as other props, such as `form` for pages, or `children` for layouts. In earlier versions, you had to type these properties manually. For example, for a page:
+>
+> ```js
+> /// file: +page.svelte
+> /** @type {{ data: import('./$types').PageData, form: import('./$types').ActionData }} */
+> let { data, form } = $props();
+> ```
+>
+> Or, for a layout:
+>
+> ```js
+> /// file: +layout.svelte
+> /** @type {{ data: import('./$types').LayoutData, children: Snippet }} */
+> let { data, children } = $props();
+> ```
+
 In turn, annotating the `load` function with `PageLoad`, `PageServerLoad`, `LayoutLoad` or `LayoutServerLoad` (for `+page.js`, `+page.server.js`, `+layout.js` and `+layout.server.js` respectively) ensures that `params` and the return value are correctly typed.
 
 If you're using VS Code or any IDE that supports the language server protocol and TypeScript plugins then you can omit these types _entirely_! Svelte's IDE tooling will insert the correct types for you, so you'll get type checking without writing them yourself. It also works with our command line tool `svelte-check`.
