Description

Summary

Hi team,

Currently, the "View Deployment" for change previews isn't working, causing contributors to be directed to incorrect Vercel links.

  • "View Deployment" Button:

  • When I click the button:

It stopped working at some point, and from my investigation, this problem affects the entire React documentation site, including react.dev and other i18n documentation.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the broken “View Deployment” link from reactjs/react.dev/pull/8277 and compare the generated Vercel links for react.dev and the i18n documentation. Trace the deployment configuration or workflow responsible for that button; done means external contributors are sent to the correct preview deployment across the affected documentation sites.
