Problem conclusion

• Problem Analysis:
  This method of rendering in the API was overlooked when fixes
  included in the cumulative fix were made.
  The rendering engine assumes we are trying to render a component
  instead of a content document,
  resulting in the null presentation template.
  
  Problem Solution:
  The code has been updated to ensure the appropriate request
  parameters are maintained.
  
  
  Affected Users:
  All users .
