Is there a tutorial on rooting w/ the latest build?

[tbonecopper]

Sorry, new to rooting android devices still. I need to edit a config for the hotspot on my phone, and it seems unlocking the bootloader + rooting is the only way to do this.

Is there a tutorial for this with the latest build? Or similar, at least?

Also, am I correct in believing the phone will restore itself to factory software settings if I unlock the bootloader?

If you unlock the bootloader, yes, that will completely wipe the phone. Everything will be gone. As for how to root, have you checked XDA?

If you unlock the bootloader then you can easily root your phione, Try this.. Guide to Root Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Unlock Bootloader and Install TWRP

Followed the same and rooted my pixel xl
