Why is Autodesk.Viewing.Collaboration not found in Autodesk APS Viewer?

Question

I am trying to load the Autodesk.Viewing.Collaboration extension in the Autodesk APS Viewer (formerly Forge Viewer), but I keep getting the following error:

Unhandled Promise rejection: Extension not found: Autodesk.Viewing.Collaboration. Has it been registered(1)?

Code I am using:

const viewer = new Autodesk.Viewing.Private.GuiViewer3D(document.getElementById('viewer'));

Autodesk.Viewing.Initializer(options, function () {
    viewer.start();
    
    viewer.loadExtension('Autodesk.Viewing.Collaboration')
});

Is Autodesk.Viewing.Collaboration deprecated, internal, or limited to specific Autodesk products? Are there alternative ways to implement real-time collaboration (e.g., syncing views, markups, and issue tracking) within the APS Viewer? Would appreciate any insights or workarounds!

It was deprecated in v7.70.0: https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/viewer/v7/change_history/changelog_v7/#id121

We might have something similar later on but no specifics I can share at the moment.
