title: Redirect stage
authentik_version: "2024.12"
---

This stage's main purpose is to redirect the user to a new Flow while keeping flow context. For convenience, it can also redirect the user to a static URL.

The redirection target can also be overwritten dynamically in an expression policy by setting the [redirect_stage_target](../../flow/context/#redirect_stage_target-string) key in the flow context.

## Redirect stage modes

### Static mode

When the user reaches this stage, they are redirected to a static URL.

### Flow mode

When the user reaches this stage, they are redirected to a specified flow, retaining all [flow context](../../flow/context/index.mdx).

Optionally, toggle the "Keep flow context" switch to "off". When this control is set to "off", all flow context is cleared with the exception of the [is_redirected](../../flow/context#is_redirected-flow-object) key.
