Configuring Sourcegraph is getting simpler

We're shipping a broad set of improvements to the administration area focused on one goal: make Sourcegraph easy and obvious to configure.

The administration area now contains dedicated pages for configuring many settings found in the former "Site configuration" page. These include:

• Guided setup and editing of authentication providers.
• Dedicated configuration pages for common admin workflows like email delivery, TLS/SSL, authentication, and license management.
• A clearer site admin information architecture, including reorganized navigation, improved sidebar search, and consolidated diagnostics pages.
• Better UX during configuration changes, such as improved validation and clear inline feedback before committing the changes to the site configuration.

Going forward, expect the same direction: more task-focused pages, better guided setup experiences with pre-save validation where possible, and fewer places where you need to hand-edit the raw JSON configuration.

To reflect this, the former "Site configuration" page is now called Advanced configuration, with the goal that you never need to go there in the future.
