# Replacing a single page

 * Hello, I have a page on my site (domain.com/careers). I have completely redone
   the page as a new draft (domain.com/careers-2/). I would like to swap the old/
   careers page with the new /careers-2 page and keep the URL /careers in order 
   to maintain SEO (etc.) although I’m not 100% sure that is necessary.
 * I brought the old /careers page back to draft and renamed it /careers-original,
   changed the new /careers-2 page to /careers, and published the new page. However,
   the menus were still linking to the id for the old Careers page. [I ended up 
   crashing the site trying to change the menu.] I talked to a developer, and he
   told me that my attempt was not possible.
 * What can I do here to swap the two pages? I use Advanced Custom Fields so creating
   a page takes some time. Since I already created the new one, I’d like to avoid
   recreating it. Are there any plugins that can help or is there some other trick
   I can use? I’ve thought of using a redirection, but I’m not sure that is the 
   best option.
 * Thanks

 * trash the old page; that will clear the slug for re-use
