I am trying to create an alternate layout for my facet-browse page. There are three categories for which I want to display that alternate layout.
I was reading the documentation and it says that registerTemplate lets you change the layout for URL Path.
When I do this for facet-browse and change the layout from SMT, it changes the layout for all category pages instead of those three. Why is that happening. Can someone highlight what am I missing?

If I want to change the layout for three category pages and not PLP, I can do it by registering a template for facet-browse right?
