How can I do a 301 redirect for the main page ("/") in Webflow to ensure that all external links are redirected to my new domain once I take the old domain offline?

To set up a 301 redirect for the main page ("/") in Webflow, ensuring that all external links are redirected to your new domain once the old domain goes offline, you can follow these steps:

6. In the "Redirect To" field, enter the full URL of your new domain, including the "http://" or "https://" prefix.
7. Leave the "Type" as "Permanent (301)" to ensure that search engines and browsers understand that this is a permanent redirect.
