In the "Redirects" tab, you need to insert the "Source URL" (your archive page) and the "Target URL" (the page you want to redirect users to).

We recommend choosing a page that matches what people are likely to search for when they land on the old archive page.

For example, let's say you have a software review site and want to redirect a category archive for a discontinued platform. A good target URL might be a recent post you wrote explaining why the software is no longer available.
