Let’s create a redirect,
it only takes 1 minute
Step 1: destination type
Choose 1 of 5 options
Step 2: destination
Based on what you selected in Step 1 you either start typing a title or paste in a link.
You get suggestions as you type for pages, spaces and attachments.
Step 3: force redirect (removes deny option)
When the page loads the user gets a popup.
- By default the Deny option is available, represented by grey toggle.
- To remove the Deny option, and require the user to go to the page you want to redirect to, slide the toggle to green.
Step 4: enable redirect
- Green means the redirect is active. It is green by default.
- If you want to draft the direct or temporarily stop it, slide the toggle to grey. When it is grey the redirect is disabled.
Step 5: last step
About the preview in the macro edit
The preview shows what the user sees when loads the page. It updates automatically as you edit the redirect. It displays as a popup when the page loads, the background behind the popup is greyed out.
