2

Filter by Type and Status

Quickly find active rules, inactive rules, and specific redirect types (301, 302, etc.).

Edit or remove outdated rules

Keep the list clean so you are not carrying legacy redirects forever.

Deactivate selected Good when testing whether old rules are still needed.
Delete selected Use carefully after confirming rules are truly obsolete.
Export CSV Keep a snapshot before major cleanup changes.
Safety tip Before deleting in bulk, export your list so you can recover quickly if needed.
