Thanks @PawanRamaMali for reporting the issue!

Our docs were generated by scraping the official Fluent UI docs; their structure is quite different from ours and many tweaks were needed to make it work. Still, some pages might be missing and links might be broken on occasion. In such situations you should be able to find the missing docs at the official site, e.g. Announced - Quick Actions.

Hi @kamilzyla , I have created this PR to update these links.

Thanks for the PR @PawanRamaMali! Unfortunately it's not a permanent solution for this issue. The R/documentation.R file is generated by the scripts in the scrape-docs directory; the next time we run them these changes will be lost. I'll reopen the issue so we don't forget about it in the future.
