GitLab Skipping Project Group and Project in relative paths and embedded images in markdown Pages site [404 Errors]

Body

I have created a Pages site with Markdown files on GitLab using their Pages feature.

My project site exists within a Project Group (with other relevant projects)

Within my Repo, When I define a relative path that links an image (or another Markdown file), the path should be: (/[assets folder]/[images folder]/image-file.png).That same path/link on my deployed Gitlab pages site should be: gitlab.[My Company].io/My Repo Group/My Repo/assets folder/image folder/image-file.png

Instead this is what's happening:

Instead, Gitlab is taking my file path — (/[assets folder]/[images folder]/image-file.png) — and calling this URL: gitlab.[My Company].io/assets folder/image folder/image-file.png...

GitLab is skipping my Project Group and Repo in the pathway and missing the file, which throws me a 404 (and doesn't embed the image).

I'm at a loss here. Any suggesting to help GitLab call the correct file path? Hoping I'm making a simple mistake.

_config.yml info:

url: http://gitlab.[My Company].io/My Repo Group/My Repo

baseurl: /My Repo Group/My Repo

I have tried many variation of pathways to embed images (and link other files). I have this problem when linking Markdown files as well. The path skips my Project Group and Project.

Docs Folder Example (Linking/reference other markdown files within a markdown file)

Within my repo — The path that should work is: (/[docs folder]/[docs subfolder]/file.md).

What my deployed site links to based on that path: gitlab.[My Company].io/[docs folder]/[docs subfolder]/file.md

It skips my repo group and repo.

The relative path that works, but NOT FOR images is: (../[docs subfolder]/file.md)
