What would you like changed or added to the documentation and why?

The tutorial "Extracelllular Electrophysiological Data" contains a section that references the add_electrodes function here.

        nwbfile.add_electrode(
            group=electrode_group,
            label="shank{}elec{}".format(ishank, ielec),
            location="brain area",
        )

The keyword "label" doesn't exist however. I guess this is from an old version?
I think the label keyword is actually quite useful to add exactly the info that is mentioned in the example. Is the idea here to use only the xyz localization as an identifier?

Currently though adding the label keyword results in an exception:

nwbfile.add_electrode(
group=electrode_group,
label=f"{contact_names[lead_idx]}",
location=f"{Location}_{hemisphere}",
reference="REFERENCE?"
)

Do you have any interest in helping write or edit the documentation?

Yes, but I would need guidance.
