When web content is restructured, the web addresses (URL) of the web pages change.
To ensure the long-term validity of a URL, redirects of the old URLs to the new URLs can be configured with the Redirect management tool.
The Redirect management tool provides easy configuration for web redirects (URL redirects).
Authors who are restructuring a web site can redirect previously published web addresses (URLs) to the new URLs to ensure that the old URL remains valid.
The Redirect management tool is available free of charge to authors of ETH websites (ETH employees).
Redirects are configured via the Service Desk or via ISGs. The ISGs can further delegate the configuration to the authors.
