AWS awsconsolehelpdocs documentation change
Summary
Updated AWS User Experience Customization (UXC) documentation with expanded feature descriptions including service visibility and region visibility controls, added security clarification note, and restructured content with new topic links.
Security assessment
The change adds a security clarification note stating that visibility settings only affect console appearance and don't restrict API access, which is important for security awareness. It also adds a link to 'Security in AWS User Experience Customization' documentation. However, there's no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability or incident.
