 * Hello,
    thanks for your awesome plugin!
 * I’m trying to set up the creation of automatic redirects, if an author changes
   the slug of an article or changes its category, then they will also change the
   link.
 * In the settings I found:
    URL> URL Inspection> Article Change Inspection It seems
   to be the setting I was looking for, but then why does it ask me to insert a 
   redirect control? I would simply like to create a redirect from the old permalink
   to the new one. Thank you

 * I don’t know what plugin you are using, but the setting you mentioned is not 
   part of Redirection.

 * That is not the standard English language used in the plugin. Maybe it has been
   auto translated?

 * What do you mean by this?
 * Documentation for the setting can be found here:
 * [https://redirection.me/support/options/](https://redirection.me/support/options/)
 * You check the post types you want to monitor and then pick a group to create 
   them in.

 * sorry I translated it automatically because I see it in my language. I just intend
   to create a redirect when changing the permalink. I thought the plugin could 
   automatically save this change. Instead of asking authors to manually insert 
   the redirect into the plugin.
 * Thank you

 * It’s not asking authors to manually insert a redirect. As I mentioned above, 
   you pick the post types to monitor, pick the group, and it will monitor and create
   redirects when the permalinks of posts of that type change.

 * Ok so that setting is correct. I was in confusion because “URL Monitor Change”
   appears below, so nothing must be entered.
    Thank you
