# Redirects (/docs/core/maintenance/redirects) # Redirects [#redirects] When you rename or move a page, its old URL should still work, since other sites and search engines may link to it. Redirects handle that, but editing nginx config by hand is error-prone. Atlas gives you a simple table instead. ## How it works [#how-it-works] Atlas reads and writes the redirects file set by `redirectsFile` in [atlas.json](/docs/core/getting-started/the-workspace), which is `nginx/redirects.conf` for the Coolify docs. You add a redirect by giving the old path and the new one, and Atlas writes the matching nginx rule. To find an existing rule in a long file, search by either path. ## Lossless editing [#lossless-editing] Your redirects file often has more than just simple rules: comments, custom blocks, and rules Atlas does not manage. Atlas preserves all of that **byte for byte**. It only touches the redirects you edit through the table, and leaves everything else exactly as it was. Add a redirect whenever you change a page's slug. Pair this with [Doctor](/docs/core/maintenance/doctor), which flags internal links that still point at the old path. ## Next steps [#next-steps]
