I've always found it slightly confusing with having things split up for various
modules - from an information architecture perspective, grouping related things
together seems to be the way to go where this is possible and logical.

For example, all the cataloguing things should be together, rather than split
across cataloging, tools, administration. The same could apply to the other
main modules such as circulation and patrons. This would probably require wider
input  from the Koha Community before all were changed though.

I think we should have them in just one place - Cataloguing.

To me, it makes more sense for the breadcrumbs `Home > Cataloging > Page`, and
have things in just one place.

As above, just in one place (Cataloguing).

Some other feedback:

- Z3950 search: it seems like there are some challenges to add this to the
sidebar menu, but that is the only thing when testing that doesn't appear (I
enabled the advanced editor and stock rotation and they appeared

- Four columns or three? I think I would prefer three columns (similar to
Circulation), with 'Automations' appearing under the third column. At present I
think it looks a bit too crowded with everything crunched up, with three
columns there would be more space around and between the headings for all the
different options.

- Automations section: I think this heading should be singular, that is
'Automation'. I tried to think of some alternative wording, but the only thing
I could come up with was 'Automatic rules' or 'Automatic processes'. The
intention here (I think) is for things that can be set up and that will run
automatically.

I think this is a great improvement!
