I did visit it multiple times, but I would land on the homepage and I assumed that it was incomplete early in my journey because I was judging it based on the contents of this page.

So when you mentioned it again, I actually clicked through and can see there was more here than I had thought.

As a user I think I would just like "Learn more" within the platform similar to how AWS, GCP and Azure links parts of their UI directly to their docs near the feature in question.

Thanks so much for this! We consider many of the items on this list to be beyond Getting Started, but you're right that we can be clearer about the HOW for them, and it's helpful for many of these items to be grouped together somewhere.

@anujbhavsar96 is reviewing some of the Admin set up, and might also find this list helpful, along with @michaeltharrington and @ioscasey (for us to discuss with the Admin docs in mind)
