If I have to go to git and start doing console commands, I don't consider something to be "easy."

Awesome news, I was waiting for this to launch! 1. Can we include external Markdown files in Starlight? For example, if we have a changelog.md file hosted outside of the Starlight, can I make it appear in the menu and as a page inside the documentation? 2. Can we have multiple documentation sites with a single installation? For example, can we have a site at `*.com/docs/doc1` and another site at `*.com/docs/doc2`, where each site has its own home page, menu, etc. but using the same "theme/layout" that carries all edits made to extend/customize the main Starlight installation?

Hi @spe_dev! Thanks for the questions. We’re planning improved support for 1. Currently, the Markdown files do need to be in `src/content/docs/`, so you’d need something like a small script to copy over a changelog file before building. Pretty easy to set up, but would definitely be nice to make it easier. Support for 2. is also planned but not there yet — you can get quite a long way with the current features, but completely separate menus aren’t supported yet. Happy to help out with either of these points if you have questions. The #starlight channel in the Astro Discord is a great place to get support: https://astro.build/chat
