+
+## Requirements
+
+This module requires no modules outside of Drupal core.
+
+
+## Recommended modules
+
+- [Pathauto](https://www.drupal.org/project/pathauto)
+can be configured to automatically generate path redirects to
+ensure that URL alias changes do not break existing links.
+
+- [Pathologic](https://www.drupal.org/project/pathologic)
+helps transform relative links in content to absolute URLs. Most
+helpful when you move your site to a new domain or different folder.
+
+
+## Installation
+
+Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. For further
+information, see [Installing Drupal Modules](https://www.drupal.org/docs/extending-drupal/installing-drupal-modules).
+
+
+## Configuration
+
+1. Navigate to Administration > Extend and enable the module.
+
+2. Navigate to Administration > Configuration > Search and Metadata > URL
+redirects for configuration.
+
+3. Select "Add redirect" and in the "Path" field add the old path.
+
+4. In the "To" field, start typing the title of a piece of content to select
+it. You can also enter an internal path such as /node/add or an external
+URL such as http://example.com. Enter <front> to link to the front page.
+
+5. Select the Redirect status: 300 Multiple Choices, 301 Moved Permanently,
+302 Found, 303 See Other, 304 Not Modified, 305 Use Proxy, or 307
+Temporary Redirect. Save.
+
+6. Once a redirect has been added, it will be listed in the URL Redirects
+vertical tab group on the content's edit page.
