Where a new setting goes
- A new setting is a section with an anchor on an existing page, not a new page.
- A new page is justified only when it has its own lifecycle (its own data, status and actions).
- Sibling pages under one topic become tabs on a single sidebar entry, as Platform does.
- Every setting also gets a Cmd+K palette entry that deep links to its anchor.
- The global sidebar holds at most 40 items.
- A Settings group holds at most 8 items.
- No new Settings group is added without owner approval.
- Groups start closed except the one holding the current page, and each viewer’s open state is remembered locally.
- Prefer a status strip or a tile on an existing page over a new entry that only repeats information.
- When a cap is reached, merge items into tabs before asking for a new group.
