   With the changes I made in the recent big re-org, one thing I did was break 
up all the Admin UI pages and spread them around so they're adjacent to the 
docs for whatever the UI provides access to - the Cloud screens docs is with 
the other SolrCloud content, the Logging screen docs got merged with the docs 
on how to configure logging, the Document Upload screen is with the pages about 
indexing, etc.
   
   Basically, I wanted to stop treating the Admin UI as a special, separate 
thing, and instead document overall features/functions more holistically and in 
a less disjointed way - here's the way this thing works, here's how you 
interact with Solr to configure this thing, including a UI for it (when there 
is one). Depending on how complex the "thing" is, it might be all on a single 
page or on multiple pages.
   
   So following this organizational idea, I think the Schema Designer should 
move from being a child of `solr-admin-ui.adoc` (where it feels a little 
orphaned organizationally, being the only child page there) to being a child of 
either `solr-schema.adoc` or `fields-schema-design.adoc` - that's where all the 
content about Solr's schema generally and the specifics of the schema elements 
live now.
   
   I understand why you may have thought to put it under `solr-admin-ui.adoc`, 
since that page lives under Getting Started, and you stated you wanted the 
Schema Designer to be a getting started tool. Moving it may seem like it 
prevents that, but I think we could highlight within the various pages under 
Getting Started (like in `documents-fields-schema-design.adoc`, for one, but 
also others) that the tool exists. But by moving it, when people do use the 
docs for the tool, they have access through the left nav to the related ideas 
and documentation that they need. Eventually someday we/someone could write a 
tutorial which would walk a new user through it using sample data.
   
   What do you think?
