Summary

Restructures the Workflows docset from feature-organized into outcome-organized IA, per the Workflows Vision & Execution Plan. First of several planned PRs — lays the structural foundation so content work can land in smaller, reviewable follow-ups.

No existing pages are rewritten. Content is moved, reparented, and lightly reframed at the intro/title level. Four new outcome-section landing pages point at existing reference material. All old URLs redirect.

How to review

  1. Nav diff: Compare the old vs. new Workflows block in explore-analyze/toc.yml — this is the core change.
  2. Four outcome pages: The only net-new written content. Each describes capabilities that exist today; flag anything that reads aspirational. Moved pages have only light intro/title updates.

What changed

New top-level outcome sections:

  • Automate security operations
  • Manage detection rules at scale
  • Automate observability workflows
  • Build AI-augmented automation

New parent index pages: Get started, Workflow authoring techniques, Reference.

Reparented content (URLs change, redirects added):

  • setup.md and get-started.md → under Get started
  • data.md, author-workflows.md, monitor-troubleshoot.md, manage-workflows.md → under Authoring techniques
  • data/templating.mdtemplating.md (flattened, under Reference)
  • triggers/* and steps/* reparented in toc.yml only — URLs unchanged

Retired:

  • workflows/core-components.md: A short navigation-hub page that wrapped Triggers, Steps, and Connectors in the old IA. In the new IA, the Reference section lists these directly, so the wrapper is redundant. The Triggers/Steps/Data framing is preserved in the "Key concepts" section of workflows.md. Redirects to the landing page.
  • workflows/use-cases.md: An empty hidden stub (frontmatter + H1 only, no body). The four new outcome-section landing pages (Automate security operations, Manage detection rules at scale, Automate observability workflows, Build AI-augmented automation) are the new use-case discovery surface. Redirects to the landing page.

Cross-repo link updates: Security alerts docs and Agent Builder docs updated to point at new paths.
