[301 redirects](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231#section-6.4.2) are handled by a configuration file on your web server — an *.htaccess* file on an Apache server, or a *web.config* file on a Microsoft IIS server.

There's no native redirect feature in Cascade CMS. What you can do is maintain the configuration file as an asset in Cascade CMS and publish it to the root of your web server when it changes, which keeps the redirects under the same version control and workflow as the rest of your content.
