Why do Pega documentation URL's change so often
Why do the Pega doucmentation URL's change so often. This is very disturbing when developing an application and I want to read some documentation. When opening the URL that I saved in my bookmarks is not working anymore, it completely gets me out of my develop 'zone'. And that really bothers me. Not only is old link gone, searching in the Pega documentation is not becomming easier in the last few years.
For example, I was trying to open the URL "https://docs.pega.com/data-management-and-integration/87/repository-apis" to read specs about the Pega Repository API for Pega 8.7. Pega 8.7!!! This version is not that old.
Pega, please use perma links or do not remove old links. Think about your users who use and read your documentation!
