# Redirects

> Learn how to manage URL redirects in Kibo CMS Website Builder.

The Kibo CMS Website Builder includes a built-in Redirects manager that lets you define URL redirect rules directly from the Admin interface, without needing to redeploy your frontend application.

## Overview

Redirects are managed under **Website Builder → Redirects** in the Kibo CMS Admin. Each rule maps a source path to a destination URL and can be configured as a permanent (301) or temporary (302) redirect.

When a visitor requests a URL that matches a source path, the Website Builder serves the configured redirect. Your Next.js frontend fetches these rules at runtime via the `/api/redirects` endpoint included in the starter kit.

## Managing Redirects

### Create a Redirect

1. Navigate to **Website Builder → Redirects** in the Admin sidebar.
2. Click **New Redirect**.
3. Set the **From** field to the path you want to redirect (for example, `/old-page`).
4. Set the **To** field to the destination URL or path (for example, `/new-page`).
5. Select the redirect type: **301 Permanent** or **302 Temporary**.
6. Click **Save**.

### Edit a Redirect

1. Navigate to **Website Builder → Redirects**.
2. Locate the redirect you want to change and click to open it.
3. Update the fields and click **Save**.

### Delete a Redirect

1. Navigate to **Website Builder → Redirects**.
2. Select the redirect and choose **Delete** from the action menu.

## How Redirects Are Served

The Next.js starter kit includes a `/api/redirects` route and a `middleware.ts` file that fetches redirect rules from Kibo CMS at request time. This means new redirects take effect immediately after saving — no rebuild required.

<Note>
  If you are not using the official starter kit, you will need to implement redirect fetching yourself. Redirect rules are available via the Kibo CMS GraphQL API.
