@stevector when convenient can you review?

stevector

I left some stylistic suggestions. My question/suggestion @rkunjappan is why should we keep references to search_api_pantheon_admin?

+    For versions prior to 8.4.x, you can post the schema via the Drupal admin UI (`search_api_pantheon_admin` module) or the post schema Drush command:


If we want people to upgrade to 8.4.x, I'm not sure why we would document how to use an older version @rkunjappan

@stevector, I will remove it. I haven't updated the PR after our discussion to remove the mention of the admin module.
