[[indices-exists]]
[DOCS] Remove heading offsets for REST APIs (#44568) Several files in the REST APIs nav section are included using :leveloffset: tags. This increments headings (h2 -> h3, h3 -> h4, etc.) in those files and removes the :leveloffset: tags. Other supporting changes: * Alphabetizes top-level REST API nav items. * Change 'indices APIs' heading to 'index APIs.' * Changes 'Snapshot lifecycle management' heading to sentence case.

Used to check if the index (indices) exists or not. For example:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
Switch indices.exists_type from `{index}/{type}` to `{index}/_mapping/{type}`. #20055 This will help remove types as we will need `{index}/{id}` to tell whether a document exists. Relates #15613

The HTTP status code indicates if the index exists or not. A `404` means
it does not exist, and `200` means it does.
documentation fix: index exists is ambiguous (#28460)

IMPORTANT: This request does not distinguish between an index and an alias,
i.e. status code `200` is also returned if an alias exists with that name.
