Docs for Confusing Topics

The process done when creating a new day is:

1. Create the day in Firebase
2. Forward to setInstructorPermissions state
3. If the special link is valid, enable instructor view for that dayId
4. Forward to the normal URL

There is a special state called setInstructorPermissions. This is because instructors will need to share the special instructor link for other instructors to see the answers.
