I’ve noticed something strange when a user opens a specific workflow in a new (private/incognito) tab they get a 404 error e.g. [https://circleci.com/workflow-run/eea8d2c5-6f10-4d60-93fa-2f1f90f7a882](https://circleci.com/workflow-run/eea8d2c5-6f10-4d60-93fa-2f1f90f7a882) However if I open a job in a new (private/incognito) window e.g. [https://circleci.com/gh/publicarray/spksrc/306](https://circleci.com/gh/publicarray/spksrc/306) and than click on the link under `Workflow:` I get can get to the workflow page.

Why can’t I share the workflow as a link?

@FelicianoTech is there something else I need to do to get this looked at?
