The link to the pages.navigateToApp() documentation on this page is broken

Type of issue

Feature doesn't work (bug)

Feedback

In this section:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/build-and-test/deep-link-application?tabs=teamsjs-v2#configure-deep-link-to-a-tab-using-teamsjs
...there is this text:
"For more information about using the pages capability, see pages.navigateToApp() and the pages namespace..."

The pages.navigateToApp() link goes here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/@microsoft/teams-js/pages?view=msteams-client-js-latest#@microsoft-teams-js-pages-navigatetoapp&preserve-view=true

That does not actually direct you to the documentation for that function. Instead, it only takes you to the top of the page. The working link is:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/@microsoft/teams-js/pages?view=msteams-client-js-latest#@microsoft-teams-js-pages-navigatetoapp

That's a very similar URL, but it does not have the &preserve-view=true part tacked on to the end. That part seems to be what is breaking the direct navigation.

This same problem seems to exist with many of the direct-to-function link attempts on that page. Did the docs navigation system used to support &preserve-view=true and now it doesn't?

Hello @surbhigupta12 ,
Can you please help here in updating the document as suggested. We also found that the navigation is broken and does not point to the exact section for pages.navigateToApp().

This issue is not completely fixed. In my comment above, I said:

"This same problem seems to exist with many of the direct-to-function link attempts on that page."

However, the fix to which you linked only fixed the problem for the specific pages.navigateToApp() link. There are many other deep links on the page that are still broken. If this issue is not tracking fixing the whole page, which issue is?
