Broken links in Australia Combined Release Notes docs (over 20%)

Is anyone else going through the ServiceNow Release Notes for Australia, and repeatedly getting the error below when clicking on a link? Within the Combined product release notes for upgrades from Zurich to Australia page alone, over 20% of the links don't actually work and instead return this:

I've tried different browsers, in cognito mode, etc. hoping it's just me, but I'm suspecting that it's not.

Possible workaround: For most of the broken links, CoPilot is able to fetch the content, despite the error I get when trying to directly navigate there myself. Curiously, other AI's I've tried (perplexity, chatgpt, claude) report a 404 and aren't able to retrieve any content.
So the best workaround I've found thus far is asking CoPilot to summarize the content in the linked page.

Thank you everyone for spotting this issues. We fixed the issue on September 24th. You can now access the Zurich to Australia combined release notes at https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r/australia/release-notes/australia-zurich-combined-release-notes.ht...
If you encounter any other broken links on that page, please let us know.

Glad to find this post, and the Copilot suggestion has definitely helped us out.  Still, why wouldn't ServiceNow documentation team not just fix the broken links?  This is a pretty significant piece of documentation in preparation for our upgrade, seems like it would be a priority to have it working properly.
