new redirection form contains options like:

  1. Old URL
    If you want to create redirection manually - here you have to type the url of old page. If you dont want to use regular expression - you dont have to put here url with domain (for exmaple instead https://mypresta.eu/contact.html  you can just use /contact.html). If you want to use regular expressions - you will have to use full url here. 
  2. New URL
    This is target url of redirection. Please use here full url to page. Website users will be redirected to this url while they will try to reach "old url".
  3. Type of URL redirection
    This option allows to define type of the redirection. You can select 301, 302 or 303 reirection type. Please note that 301 is a permanent redirection so once you will define permanent redirection you should not change it in the future. This can confuse google.
