Hosted workbench in SharePoint Online
Describe the bug / error
In the Hosted workbench (_layouts/15/workbench.aspx), there is a broken link on the Web part data dialog. The link for "Learn about provisioning SharePoint assets from your SharePoint client-side web part" currently points to https://dev.office.com/sharepoint/docs/spfx/web-parts/get-started/provision-sp-assets-from-package. The link fails to load the page.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the Hosted workbench on any site collection
- Click the Web part data option from the menu
- At the bottom of the page, click the "Learn about provisioning SharePoint assets from your SharePoint client-side web part" link
- New tab opens to "https://dev.office.com/sharepoint/docs/spfx/web-parts/get-started/provision-sp-assets-from-package" with error (DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN).
Expected behavior
Link should open to correct page, which appears to be
Looks like there should be a DNS redirect, but dev.office.com is not redirecting to the new Learn page.
