+The entity `<AboutCard />` now uses an external route ref to link to TechDocs
+sites. This external route must now be bound in order for the "View TechDocs"

+Wire up TechDocs, which now relies on the composability API for routing.
+
+First, ensure you've mounted `<TechDocsReaderPage />`. If you already updated
+to use the composable `<TechDocsIndexPage />` (see below), no action is
+necessary. Otherwise, update your `App.tsx` so that `<TechDocsReaderPage />` is
+mounted:
+
+```diff
+     <Route path="/docs" element={<TechdocsPage />} />
++    <Route
++      path="/docs/:namespace/:kind/:name/*"
++      element={<TechDocsReaderPage />}
++    />
+```
+
+Next, ensure links from the Catalog Entity Page to its TechDocs site are bound:
+
+```diff
+  bindRoutes({ bind }) {
+    bind(catalogPlugin.externalRoutes, {
+      createComponent: scaffolderPlugin.routes.root,
++     viewTechDoc: techdocsPlugin.routes.docRoot,
+    });
+```
