Thanks for offering this idea for the manual!
The bulk of this seems like a tutorial describing a fairly involved workflow. This sort of content is rarely appropriate for the manual, and doesn't concisely exemplify the section that it's an example in.
Maybe an example that uses only the global environment and a project environment would be better. I would also avoid introducing startup.jl files into this and copying from the downloads folder.
| # startup.jl | ||
| try | ||
| push!(LOAD_PATH, expanduser("~/.julia/environments/sci-tools")) | ||
| using Plots | ||
| using LaTeXStrings | ||
| catch e | ||
| @warn "Failed to auto-load school tools" exception=(e, catch_backtrace()) | ||
| end |

This startup file will significantly increase julia startup latency.
I found it hard to understand how to work with stacked environments. The algorithm explanation is very nice but it clarifies things a lot for me to see why and how I would be interested in this feature.
I think/suppose for most users, the key point should be that you want to install dev tools in
@v#.#, like suggested for Revise, and not think about stacked environments otherwise. But for people who want to go further, this will help.
