Format/Config for Custom Tiles

Question

I am trying to use a custom tile layer as a map backdrop - ONLINE use.  I cannot get it to work.  I have edited the *.info file and placed the URL but with no success.  I published the layer using ArcGIS Pro.  The layer displays in AGOL Maps.  Here is my layer...

1) The documentation below shows some examples with various stuff after the /tile/  is this important?

${z}/${y}/${x}   - is this a "format" where you substitute your values or is this a sort of wild card?.  Is this required?

The documentation shows...

* Esri default basemap—http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer/tile/{{z}}/{{y}}/{{x}}.png
* Uses DOUBLE {{}} - is this a typo?  If not, what do double brackets mean?

2) Is the "tile template URL" format documented anywhere?

3) Are there any map project requirements?

4) Do I need the "*.png" piece?

I tried...

I tried forcing a single tile...

Hi Jonathan,

Yes, there is an error in the documentation.  For ArcGIS tiled map services, you should be able to simply use the URL to /MapServer, https://tiles.arcgis.com/tiles/UTBp78iglGpbqp1B/arcgis/rest/services/slrrppc_tile/MapServer, by itself.  We have an issue filed to update the documentation.
