Consolidate administrative controls

As a Confluence administrator, I want to be able to easily navigate to all Linchpin options, so that I don't have to scroll through a giant list (or use Ctrl+F) to find the option I need.
Background:
Adding Linchpin to Confluence makes administration a mess. For our Confluence admins already familiar with the system, it's even worse, as this is a huge departure from the norm. I myself ALWAYS use Ctrl+F on the admin page since we have installed Linchpin, as it's impossibly organized. We'd suggest nesting administrative options under one item in the left-hand navigation, and having a separate sub-navigation within this for the various Linchpin options. I recognize this would be a huge redesign likely, but would love to see it happen.

This feature has actually been available within Linchpin Suite and Linchpin Essentials for quite a while now ... we just failed to inform here. Sorry :)

in progress
I'm changing this to "In progress" as the work has begun. At the moment we are drafting the UI and the sorting of items, which will also include the suggested item on the left hand sidebar that has all the Linchpin options underneath it. We plan to ship a first step for this with the next Suite Release and have many more ideas beyond that.

Hey Misha!
Thank you for your detailed feedback.
We all agree with you completely. We know that the linchpin administration has room for improvement. We are aware of that problem. So we started to design a concept for a "user guidance".
We want to redesign the administration in general. It will happen slowly and step by step. For example with the next Linchpin Suite release you will get an improved profile editor.
Unfortunately I can not give you an ETA. It will take time to finish the concept and start developing. I'll keep you updated :)
Thanks a lot again
