 ## What's new
 
+### Automatic redirect creation
+
+Wagtail projects using the `wagtail.contrib.redirects` app can now enable 'automatic redirect creation' - which creates redirects for pages and their descedants whenever a URL-impacting change is made; such as a slug being changed, or a page being moved to a different part of the tree.
+
+This feature should be benefitial to most 'standard' Wagtail projects and, in most cases, will have only a minor impact on responsiveness when making such changes.
+
+It can be enabled by adding the following to your project settings:
+
+```python
+WAGTAILREDIRECTS_AUTOCREATE = True
+```
+
+Thank you to [The National Archives](https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk) for kindly sponsoring this feature.
