We published a document by mistake, then unpublsihed it. When trying to see if we could publish the document that was live in the history tab we get 400 status code. We've checked several other documents and we can't see a pattern where it's viewable or not.

Any thoughts?

Hello,

Thanks for your patience while our team investigated this.

The issue with the history view should now be resolved. Please note that for documents with a large number of past versions, it may take a few seconds for the history panel to load.

If you have any questions specific to your repository, please feel free to reach out to us through our [Help Center](https://prismic.io/docs/help-center).

It's working for those documents that are published. Although now we're getting status code 500 when we're trying to access "view history" on those documents that are archived.

Could you share more about the 500 error or record a [Jam](https://jam.dev/) of this behavior? It captures the browser console and would be really helpful to help us troubleshoot. Thank you!
