# Edit or delete 301 redirects

> Modify or remove existing 301 redirects to keep your site's navigation up-to-date and error-free.

## Edit a redirect

Update the source URL or destination of an existing redirect when your site structure changes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Redirect Pro">
    From your Shopify admin, open the **Redirect Pro** app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to URL Redirects">
    Click **URL Redirects** in the app navigation menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the redirect">
    Locate the redirect you want to edit in the table. You can use the [search feature](/redirect-pro/guides/managing-301-redirects/search-filter-301-redirects) to find it quickly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click the redirect">
    Click the "Redirect from" or "Redirect to" URL of the redirect.

    This will take you to the editing page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make your changes">
    Update the redirect details:

    * **Redirect from**: Change the source URL
    * **Redirect to**: Change the destination URL
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save changes">
    Click **Save** in the Shopify save bar at the top of the page. The updated redirect takes effect immediately.
  </Step>

## Delete a redirect

Remove a redirect when it's no longer needed or if it's causing conflicts.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Redirect Pro">
    From your Shopify admin, open the **Redirect Pro** app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to URL Redirects">
    Click **URL Redirects** in the app navigation menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select redirects to delete">
    Check the boxes next to the redirects you want to remove. You can select one or multiple redirects.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Delete">
    Click the **Delete** button that appears in the actions menu above the table on the right.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm deletion">
    In the confirmation modal, click **Delete** to permanently remove the selected redirects.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  **Deletion is permanent** - deleted redirects cannot be recovered. Visitors will start receiving 404 errors if they access the old URL after the redirect is deleted.
</Warning>

## Delete multiple redirects

To delete many redirects at once:

1. **Select redirects**: Check the boxes next to redirects you want to remove
2. **Click Delete**: Use the **Delete** button in the actions menu
3. **Confirm**: Click **Delete** in the confirmation modal

<Info>
  If you're deleting a large number of redirects (100+), the process may take a few minutes to complete. You can continue working and we'll send you an email when it's done.

## Tips for managing redirects

<Accordion title="Test after editing">
  After making changes, visit the old URL in your browser to verify the redirect works correctly and points to the right destination.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Clean up unused redirects regularly">
  Review your redirect list periodically (quarterly or during major site updates) and remove any that are no longer needed.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Avoid redirect loops">
  Never create a redirect that points back to itself or creates a circular chain (A→B→C→A). This will break your site navigation.
</Accordion>

## What happens after editing or deleting

**After editing:**

* Changes take effect immediately
* Visitors will be redirected to the new destination
* SEO signals transfer to the updated URL
* The redirect appears updated in your redirect list

**After deleting:**

* The redirect is removed immediately

* [Broken link tracking](/redirect-pro/guides/tracking-broken-links/how-broken-link-tracking-works) will detect visits to the deleted "Redirect from" URL
