Redirects send visitors from one URL to another. They're essential when you rename or restructure pages — without redirects, old links and bookmarks would lead to "Page Not Found" errors.
When to use redirects
- You changed a page's slug (URL path)
- You moved a page under a different parent
- You deleted a page but want the old URL to go somewhere useful
- You want a short vanity URL (e.g.,
/give→ your giving platform)
Setting up a redirect manually
- Go to Settings → Redirects
- Click Add item
- Enter the source path (the old URL, starting with
/) - Enter the destination (where visitors should be sent)
Important: Redirect changes require a site rebuild to take effect. After publishing your redirect changes, the site will automatically rebuild — but it may take a few minutes for the redirect to go live.
Automatic redirects from slug changes
When you change a page's slug and publish, Studio detects the change and offers to create a redirect for you automatically — so existing links to the old URL keep working.
What happens when you publish
A dialog titled Slug change detected appears before the page is published. It shows:
- This page — the old URL and the new URL
- Child pages (if any) — any nested pages whose URLs will also change, each listed with their old and new paths
Click Publish & create redirects to accept. Studio will:
- Update the page's slug (and patch child page slugs so they stay correct)
- Create a redirect entry in Settings → Redirects for each URL that changed
- Mark those redirects as auto-generated
Click Cancel to back out without publishing.
Finding auto-generated redirects
In the redirect list, automatic entries show:
- A • auto label next to the destination in the preview
- A read-only Created by field set to "Auto (slug change)"
- A read-only Source page field linking back to the page whose slug changed
- A Created at timestamp
You can edit or delete auto-redirects the same as manual ones.
Heads up: Auto-redirects cover the old URL → new URL jump. If you've shared the old URL in external materials (newsletters, social posts, printed materials), those will still work — but it's worth updating the source materials where you can.
