Option to Redirect Applications that have been 'Retired'

[MichaelKelly]

Applications are often updated with newer more functional better looking templates as they are developed. For example, I'm sure many users will update applications to the latest Basic viewer included with the June 2016 release of ArcGIS Online. However when you do this you are going to have a new application URL. Users may have bookmarked or stored an older version of the viewer. If there were an option to 'redirect' users to the latest version of the application when the old retired version is opened this would be never be a problem.

This will especially important with the impending migration from Web AppBuilder to Experience Builder or Instant Apps.

I think this would be especially useful now that all web map applications have to be migrated to Experience Builder or InstantApps!

Years later and this is definitely still a feature I need!

This is becoming a bigger issue with WebApp Builder being deprecated next year.  We have a number of public apps that are widely used and there is no viable way to redirect people to a new app.  We tried removing the sharing on one map to try and get people to go find the replacement app, but all that did was prompt a number of people to send angry emails about not wanting to pay for an AGOL subscription.  

When I've asked ESRI staff about this, the answer I've gotten was "Yes, you should move your apps to Experience Builder.  But WebApp Builder will still run!"  😑
