If the user is looking at the CE nav, a given doc is present only
in `/ee/`, it's tagged in the data file by `ee-only`, linking it
directly to `/ee/`.
Docs for features present only in GitLab EE are tagged
in the data file by `ee-only` and an icon is displayed on the nav
link indicating that the `ee-only` feature is not available in CE.
