Overview of Redirect Links in ScreenSteps

Redirects in ScreenSteps are a powerful tool that allow you to manage changes in your site structure while ensuring that external links continue to function correctly. This is particularly useful when you rename a manual or move an article to a different location. By setting up redirects, you guide users who follow outdated links to the correct page.

Key Features of Redirect Links:

• Redirection of Renamed Slugs: When you update the slug of a manual in your ScreenSteps site, redirects can automatically send external links pointing to the old slug to the new one.
• Management of Moved Articles: If you relocate an article from one site to another, you can configure redirects to guide external traffic to the new article location.

Important Considerations:

• Redirects will only take effect if the article, manual, or chapter is removed from the site or unpublished.
• ScreenSteps will only initiate a redirect if the requested article, chapter, or manual cannot be found.

Utilizing redirects ensures that your users have a seamless experience when accessing your content, even amidst structural changes in your ScreenSteps site.
