Description

I have been unable to locate documentation for React ^16.8. After further investigation I noticed that every documentation link I attempted to access, led to a Netlify error. For example https://reactjs.org/version/16.8:

Not Found - Request ID: 01FV995X72RZM92K5WZM6J14AV

Research direction

Start by opening the reported https://reactjs.org/version/16.8 URL and checking how the older-version documentation links are currently configured. Trace the path that produces the Netlify “Not Found” response, then verify that the React 16.8 documentation link resolves successfully instead of returning an error.
