Summary of Changes

Hello @xuanyu66, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on enhancing the user experience documentation for the cloud import feature in TiDB Cloud Serverless. The changes reflect an optimized import wizard flow, making it easier for users to understand and follow the steps for importing data from Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, and Alibaba Cloud OSS. The updates aim to provide clearer instructions for source file specification, credential handling, and flexible destination mapping options.

Highlights

Documentation Update for Cloud Import UX: The pull request updates the documentation for the TiDB Cloud Serverless data import feature, focusing on user experience optimizations across various cloud storage providers.
Streamlined Import Process Steps: The documented steps for importing data from Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, and Alibaba Cloud OSS have been revised to reflect a more streamlined and intuitive user interface flow, including changes to button labels (e.g., 'Connect' to 'Next') and the sequence of operations.
Improved Clarity on Input Fields and Mapping: The documentation now provides clearer guidance on entering source file URIs, selecting credentials, and configuring destination mapping. It explicitly differentiates between manual mapping for non-standard file naming conventions and automatic mapping when using TiDB Dumpling conventions, along with updated wildcard examples.
