Redirect Manager Tool Utilization
Key Steps
Access the eCommerce platform and navigate to the Redirect Manager section.

Copy the original URL (From URL) by highlighting it, right-clicking, and selecting "copy."
Paste the original URL into the "From URL" field in the Redirect Manager by right-clicking and selecting "paste."
Copy the destination URL (To URL) in the same manner as the original URL.
Paste the destination URL into the "To URL" field in the Redirect Manager.
Choose the appropriate redirect type based on the nature of the redirection:
For temporary redirects, select either "302 Found" or "307 Temporary Redirect."
For permanent redirects, select "301 Moved Permanently."
If the redirection is temporary, specify a start and end date for the redirect.

Select the correct redirect type based on whether the redirection is temporary or permanent.
Double-check the URLs and redirect type before saving the changes.
