nextjs - 💡(How to fix) Fix Docs: Canary link links to "Deployment" [2 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

Update the href on the "upgrading Next.js" link in the canary information box to https://nextjs.org/docs/app/getting-started/upgrading#canary-version.

Guidance

• Verify the current link redirect: Check that https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/upgrading/canary indeed redirects to https://nextjs.org/docs/app/getting-started/deploying to confirm the issue.
• Identify the component: Determine how the canary information box is generated and where its content is managed to apply the fix.
• Update the href: Change the link in the canary information box to the correct URL, https://nextjs.org/docs/app/getting-started/upgrading#canary-version, as suggested.
• Test the fix: After updating the link, verify that it now correctly directs to the intended page without any redirects.

Notes

The fix assumes that the canary information box's content can be modified directly or through a pull request, as mentioned by the reporter.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the href as suggested, since the current link leads to an irrelevant page, causing confusion for users seeking information on upgrading to the canary version of Next.js.
