# Set up redirects for a published Confluence site

To set up redirects for a Confluence site published with Capable Sites, open the site's **Settings**, choose **Redirects** and select **Add redirect**. Enter the old path and the new path, pick **301 permanent** or **302 temporary**, and select **Save changes**. To paste many rules at once, use **Edit as text**. Redirects go live on your next Update and Promote.

## Before you start

* You need to be a Confluence admin or a collaborator on the site.
* List the old URLs and the page each should go to. The new path is the space slug then the page slug, such as `/docs/getting-started`.
* You do not need rules for pages you renamed in Confluence. Changed page addresses redirect on their own.

## Steps

1. Open Capable, choose **Sites**, open your site, and select **Settings**, then the **Redirects** card.
2. Select **Add redirect**.
3. Type the old path on the left, such as `/old-page`, and the new path on the right.
4. Choose **301 permanent** or **302 temporary**.
5. For a long list, select **Edit as text** and paste one rule per line, such as `literal /old-page /docs/new-page permanent`.
6. Select **Save changes**.
7. On the site's **Overview**, select **Update**, wait for it to finish, then select **Promote**.
8. Open an old URL on the live site and check it lands on the new page.

## If it does not work

* **Save changes is greyed out** with **Redirect rules are too long to save**. Your rules are over 100,000 characters. The count shows how far over you are.
* **A row shows Incomplete.** It needs both paths before it is saved.
* **A line is marked Unrecognised rule format, kept as-is.** Check it follows `literal /from /to permanent` or `/from /to 301`.
* **The old URL still shows the old page.** You saved but did not run Update and Promote.
