 * Do I need to upgrade to the premium edition in order to edit my permalinks?
   Is
   it possible to switch the permalink from one URL to another URL without impacting
   the original URL? Can you please guide me to accomplish this?

   several concerns in your message and responded to each below:
 * > Do I need to upgrade to the premium edition in order to edit my permalinks?
 * No. You can edit your site’s permalinks even without the free version of Yoast
   SEO installed, as this setting is controlled in the general WordPress settings
   under Settings>Permalinks
 * > Is it possible to switch the permalink from one URL to another URL without 
   > impacting the original URL?
 * It depends what you mean by ‘impacting’. Changing the permalink structure will
   mean that the URL that a page/post previously was found out will now return a
   404 error if a redirect from the old permalink URL to the new one isn’t created.
 * We also have a guide on changing your permalinks available here: [https://yoast.com/help/how-do-i-change-the-permalink-structure/](https://yoast.com/help/how-do-i-change-the-permalink-structure/)
