## About the Circle redirects feature

The redirect feature allows you redirect pages built through Website builder to another URL. This is especially helpful when you’ve shared the page with your audience through marketing emails or other platforms and later decide to replace it or unpublish it.

Instead of letting the old link break, you can create a redirect that points it to a new one. Redirects can be set up even if the original page is unpublished, as long as it still exists in your community.

### Key things to know about the Circle redirects feature

Here are the main things to keep in mind when using redirects in Circle:

- **You can redirect pages created with Website builder**

- **Redirecting other community content**

- **Redirects work with your current domain**

- **Using a third-party service for redirects**

**An example of where you might use a redirect**

Let’s say you’ve created a page at [**yourcommunity.com/about-us**](http://yourcommunity.com/about-us) to introduce your team and mission. This page has been shared with your audience and indexed by search engines.

Later, you design a new, improved page with a different structure, and publish it under a new slug, such as [yourcommunity.com/meet-the-team](http://yourcommunity.com/meet-the-team). You don’t want to update the existing page, but you also don’t want to lose traffic from the old link.

To solve this:

1. Unpublish the /about-us page (set it to draft).

2. In the redirects section, create a redirect from /about-us to /meet-the-team (or any other valid URL).

This ensures:

- Anyone clicking the old link will be taken to the new page.

- No SEO or user experience is lost.

- Everything continues to work seamlessly, regardless of where the old link is used.
