Global nav - how many items we want to add there?
I've seen we're adding a lot of items in the global nav (the navbar on the left-hand side of https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/). Should we aim to having absolutely all docs added there? I see the advantages and disadvantages of doing so.
- Improved discoverability
- Consistent documentation structure (it's easy to see the file tree)
- All info there
- Too much information
- Hard to find links
- Hard to navigate
- Harder to use
- Harder to maintain (considering the docs are added/removed to different projects)
@gl-docsteam thoughts? I'd also like to run this through an UXer to see what they recommend. :)

Here's the global nav, for context:
1st level | 2nd level | 3rd level |
---|---|---|
![]() |
