Custom content for Custom Post Type parent page?

Question

I'm looking to set a static page as the parent for a custom post type. Right now the parent page is showing all archives for that custom post type.

For example http://mysite.com/cpt would show content from page ID 20.

Is this possible?

Edit: I created a new Page with the slug /cpt, it did not override the custom post type archive parent.

Answer 1

Create a new template file named archive-cpt.php, where cpt is the slug of your CPT with the custom content and upload in your theme root.
