Redirect SharePoint modern page

Hi mrueegger 

It is possible using out of the box SharePoint Online functionality to redirect a page to another page.

For example in my intranet I have a page /sites/intranet/sitepages/old.aspx

It contains useful information. After a restructure that information is now owned and maintained by the safety team who have their own communications site ( /sites/safety/ ) , and already have an old.aspx so they have to rename the page to new.aspx  

In summary our old page is here:

• /sites/intranet/sitepages/old.aspx

the new page is here

• /sites/safety/sitepages/new.aspx

To ensure that anyone who goes to /sites/intranet/sitepages/old.aspx is redirected to /sites/safety/sitepages/new.aspx we have to do the following:

• in this library /sites/intranet/sitepages/ add an out of the box content type called "Link to a Document" 
  • you may have to enable content types for the site pages library and or the intranet site
• now delete the /sites/intranet/sitepages/old.aspx
• then in the SitePages library use the New button to create a new "Link to a document"
  • you'll be asked for the "document name" , enter   old
  • you'll be asked for the "document url" , enter https://<YourTenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/safety/sitepages/new.aspx
  • click OK
• in the /sites/intranet/sitepages/ library you'll now have an old.aspx
  • if you click on the name in the library
    OR
  • if you link to the full URL https://<YourTenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/intranet/sitepages/old.aspx it will redirect you to new.aspx

You can use the same solution if you have some custom ASPX files which redirect users (created pre 2024), but new copies of those ASPX files download to the user's computer.
