# Create a redirect

> Sends an address that has nothing at it to one that has. It is followed only once the first address has turned out to be nothing, so a redirect can never take a page away. Adding one for a broken link takes that link off the list. Answers the store's redirects as they now stand.

Needs the `seo.write` permission (Change Search Settings).
