Redirect setup

In Sitecore XM Cloud, you can create redirects in Content Editor that point users to either an internal page within the website or an external website.

1. Navigate to Content Editor.

2. Expand your website and navigate to Settings > Redirects. Right-click Redirects and select Redirect Map.

   

3. Enter a name for the redirect item and click OK.

   

4. Once the item has been created, locate the Type of redirect field and select Permanent redirect (HTTP 301).

   

   Note: A 301 redirect is recommended for SEO purposes as it indicates that the page has been permanently moved.

5. A single Redirect Map item can contain multiple redirects. Use the Mapping between old and new URL path (regular expression allowed) field to configure the redirect mappings.
   1. In the left column, enter the URL path you want to redirect from.

   2. In the right column, enter the destination URL path you want to redirect to.

      

   3. To redirect to an internal page within the website, enter the destination page path in the same format as the source path. Example: about-us/our-history → our-group/our-brands
   4. To redirect to an external website, enter the full URL in the destination field. Example: careers/job-search → https://www.google.com.au/
6. Review all redirect mappings and confirm that the source and destination paths are correct.
7. Save the Redirect map item.
8. Publish the item to make the redirects available on the live website.
