## About the changes
Refactor the main nav, with the following goals:
* Communicate the value of each section vs the format (ex:
“Understanding Unleash” vs “Topic Guides”)
* Make space for the Feature Flag tutorials section that we’re starting
to build
* Scope updates to navigation and pages that need updates based on new
URLs & organization
* Update URLs to follow the new hierarchy without breaking links (adding
redirects & editing internal links between pages as needed)
### Important files
sidebar.js
docusaurus.config.js
## Discussion points
* Redirects can't be tested out of prod, which is a bummer :/
* Some URLs have been preserved untouched while we monitor for potential
negative SEO impact of client-side redirects
* It's a large PR (sorry). Nav changes and file movements impacted lots
of files.

PR contains the following:
1) New video embeds for the following docs:
- website/docs/reference/deploy/environment-import-export.mdx
- website/docs/reference/playground.mdx
- website/docs/reference/strategy-constraints.md
- website/docs/topics/a-b-testing.md
2) Improvements to the Academy course playlist embedding for the three
Academy courses. Tested the standard method of embedding video, and it
seems this works well for playlists too.
Switching to the native Docusaurus embed solves the issue with dynamic
resizing. Rather than a static embed size the video will now scale to
the browser window size.
This PR adds an explainer document about using large/complex
constraints, inspired by the Unleash and Redis repo.
The intent is to create a comprehensive and understandable explanation
as to why we don't recommend you do this, and also to offer alternative
solutions for the same problem.

## What
This PR adds a note to the constraint and the segment docs about using a
large number of constraint values.
## Why
This is a fairly common question in slack, and there is no clear
documentation around this at the moment. As such, it's likely that
people do this a fair bit without telling us. We don't think this is the
right approach, so adding this bit of documentation should hopefully
make it a little clearer.
## What
This (admittedly massive) PR updates the "physical" documentation
structure and fixes url inconsistencies and SEO problems reported by
marketing. The main points are:
- remove or move directories : advanced, user_guide, deploy, api
- move the files contained within to the appropriate one of topics,
how-to, tutorials, or reference
- update internal doc links and product links to the content
- create client-side redirects for all the urls that have changed.
A number of the files have been renamed in small ways to better match
their url and to make them easier to find. Additionally, the top-level
api directory has been moved to /reference/api/legacy/unleash (see the
discussion points section for more on this).
## Why
When moving our doc structure to diataxis a while back, we left the
"physical' files lying where they were, because it didn't matter much to
the new structure. However, that did introduce some inconsistencies with
where you place docs and how we organize them.
There's also the discrepancies in whether urls us underscores or hyphens
(which isn't necessarily the same as their file name), which has been
annoying me for a while, but now has also been raised by marketing as an
issue in terms of SEO.
## Discussion points
The old, hand-written API docs have been moved from /api to
/reference/api/legacy/unleash. There _is_ a /reference/api/unleash
directory, but this is being populated by the OpenAPI plugin, and mixing
those could only cause trouble. However, I'm unsure about putting
/legacy/ in the title, because the API isn't legacy, the docs are. Maybe
we could use another path? Like /old-docs/ or something? I'd appreciate
some input on this.
