Summary

Adds a Navigation overview page at the top of the Configuration > Navigation subsection, introducing the levers that shape a site's information architecture before readers dive into per-lever detail pages.

The page covers:

  • The five structural levers (products, versions, tabs, sections, pages) and how they nest, with a two-file YAML example showing products in docs.yml delegating tabs/navigation to a product YML
  • Which file holds the navigation key depending on whether products/versions are in use
  • Sidebar entry types (page, folder, section, api, changelog, link) as a table linking to each reference
  • Per-entry controls (icon, slug/skip-slug, hidden, availability, collapsed, viewers)
  • A pointer to site-level settings for navbar/logo/footer, which are not navigation entries

Also adds a card to the existing Configuration overview page so the new page is reachable from that hub.
