# What does this PR do?
First step towards cleaning up the API reference section of the docs.
- Separates API reference into 3 sections: stable (`v1`), experimental (`v1alpha` and `v1beta`), and deprecated (`deprecated=True`)
- Each section is accessible via the dropdown menu and `docs/api-overview`

Closes#3628
TODO in follow-up PRs:
- Add the ability to annotate API groups with supplementary content (so we can have longer descriptions of complex APIs like Responses)
- Clean up docstrings to show API endpoints (or short semantic titles) in the sidebar
## Test Plan
- Local testing
- Made sure API conformance test still passes
