URL Management

You can customize the URL to any page. You may find this feature useful for SEO purposes. For example, you could use URL Management to follow search-engine friendly naming conventions or to include keywords in URLs.
Note
Any URL values listed for a page will resolve as a 301 redirect to the canonical value if administrators select the Redirect all requests to canonical URL automatically option for the given publishing target. See Configuring Structured URL Settings for details.
To manage URLs:
  1. Navigate to Site > Site Tree.
  2. Select a page in the Site Tree.
  3. Click the page's Properties tab in the main pane.
  4. Select URL Management in the Options menu.
    The URL Management view displays.

  5. In the URL Settings for drop-down list, choose the appropriate publishing target (e.g., Staging) to apply your URL configuration.
  6. Click Add to include a new custom URL for the page.
    The Add New Custom URL for Page... dialog displays.
  7. Enter the path of the new custom URL.
    Note
    The system requires paths to start with a forward slash (/).
  8. Click Add.
    The custom URL displays in the URL Management view.
  9. Optional: In the Set URL column, you can change your preferred URL from the default setting to a custom URL that you created by selecting the corresponding checkbox.
    Now, all other URLs to the page will redirect to your preferred (i.e., canonical) URL.
  10. Optional: In the MFO column, you can associate Multi-Format Output (MFO) publishing with any custom URL by selecting the corresponding checkbox.
    Important
    To use this column, the system requires administrators to first configure MFO. See Setting up Multi-Format Output for details to configure MFO.
  11. In the Advanced area, select the Requires SSL checkbox to apply a Secure Socket Layer to a particular page.
  12. Click Save.

Once you publish your changes to the publishing target that you set, visitors to your site will be redirected to your preferred URL from any other listed URL.
