Let's take a look at how you can create redirects from old to new website links.
Setting up redirects manually
Step 1.
In the admin panel, open Marketing → SEO → URL redirects section.
Step 2.
In the URL column, find the link to which you want to create a redirect. The link in the search field should be specified without the domain.
Step 3.
Opposite the found entry, in the Old URLs column, click Add and add the link from which you want to set up the redirect in a new line. You also need to specify it without a domain. The information will be saved automatically.
Attention: links for redirects must be without a language suffix. A redirect can only be common to all language versions.
Filter links /filter/ in redirects will not work either.
Adding redirects using import
Step 1.
Prepare a table with two columns, where the first column is the Old URL and the second column is the New URL.

Step 2.
In the admin panel, in the Marketing → SEO → URL redirects section, click the Redirects import button.
Step 3.
Select the file with redirects that you prepared in the first step and click Download.
Step 4.
In the preview window that appears, make sure that the columns are correctly mapped.
Step 5.
Click Import. Wait for the process to complete and check the import results.
Tip: If you see URL not found in the Status column next to a redirect, it means that the link you are trying to set up a redirect to is not available on your website.
