On the latest Dev Update, Adam mentions that the sage advice compendium is now live. I can’t find it for the life of me. He mentioned typing “sage-advice-compendium” to view it, but I can’t seem to locate it anywhere. Any help would be appreciated!
Seems to me that this page would more naturally fit under Game Rules rather than sources. Since it answers questions about game rules that's where I would expect to find it. I don't see it fitting under sources as those are published books not a collection of answers on Game Rules.

No, it's not a book, but neither is Rrakkma, The Tortle Package, Divine Contention, Sleeping Dragon's Wake, Storm Lord's Wrath, or Lost Laboratory of Kwalish. Sources are packages of content that cover multiple aspects of the game; monsters, adventures, items, spells etc.
Game rules represent individual rule elements grouped together.
Sage Advice covers multiple aspects of the game, it can't be categorised under spells, monsters, classes, races, items etc. It makes sense to add it as a source.
We've taken the content from that source and reproduced it on D&D Beyond as a source, accurate to the original publication - we've further applied hyperlinks, tooltips and all of the other good things you have come to expect from content on D&D Beyond, that we are hopeful will make this a useful page for everyone. 😊
We're very happy to hear any feedback about the page itself, especially thoughts on:
I'm also going to agree that Sage Advice should be a source not under game rules because they're technically not rules: they are clarifications and guidelines on existing rules but are not rules themselves - it does not present a list of new rules nor does it provide any corrections or updates to rules (that would be the Errata) - it's just advice (hence "sage advice") on helping you understand the existing rules or the intention behind them. That makes Sage Advice a source for guidance not collection of rules.

It should be showing up in the menu over the next hour or so, if you don't see it there now.
Thanks!

Awesome, thank you!
Looks like it hasn't been added to the menu yet though.
I see it in the Sources drop down under Basic Rules.
Not seeing it (at least on mobile).

Sage advice is a source however.
Game rules represents rules agnostic of source.

I'm also on mobile and still not seeing it on menu.
I also always click on "game rules" every time I am looking for a rulebook. It is very frustrating sometimes.
Yes but it isn't a book. So I could see it listed under Sources in the menu but not buried under the submenu Sourcebooks.

Davedamon is correct here - the Sage Advice Compendium is published by Wizards of the Coast as a pdf, available for download on their website:

Just to confirm where you should see it - under SOURCES on the mega menu:
