# Deprecations
This page includes a list of deprecations, indicating which features of Material
for MkDocs were replaced with newer, more flexible alternatives, and thus should
not be used anymore.
## Front matter
### Redirect
:octicons-archive-24: Deprecated: 5.5.0 ·
:octicons-trash-24: Removal: 6.x
The `redirect` key, which could be added via [Metadata][1], allowed to
specify a redirect from within a document to a new address, which is a good
idea when moving content around:
``` markdown
---
redirect: /path/to/new/file
---
```
The [mkdocs-redirects][2] plugin provides the ability to define redirect
mappings via `mkdocs.yml`, which is considered to be a much better solution to
achieve the same result:
``` yaml
plugins:
- search
- redirects:
redirect_maps:
path/to/old/file.md: path/to/new/file.md
```

### Source link
:octicons-archive-24: Deprecated: 5.5.0 ·
:octicons-trash-24: Removal: 6.x
The `source` and `path` keys, which could be added via [Metadata][1], showed
a source icon at the top right corner of a document, linking a document to a
single source file:
``` markdown
---
path: tree/master/docs
source: deprecations.md
---
```
Only a single source file could be linked, which is useless if a document refers
to multiple files (or multiple sections within a single file). A more flexible
approach is to use the new [icon integration][3]:
``` markdown
[:octicons-file-code-24: Source](https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/blob/master/docs/deprecations.md)
```
This will render as [:octicons-file-code-24: Source][4], which can be included
at arbitrary positions in any document.

### Hero
:octicons-archive-24: Deprecated: 5.5.0 ·
:octicons-trash-24: Removal: 6.x
The `hero` key, which could be added via [Metadata][1], allowed to render a
simple, text-only and page-local teaser text as part of a document. It could
be set from front matter with:
``` markdown
---
hero: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
---
```
The recommended way is to [override the `hero` block][5] via [theme
extension][6] for a specific page, which has the nice side effect that hero
templates can be shared among multiple pages:
=== "Markdown"
``` markdown
---
template: overrides/hero.html
---
```
=== "Template"
``` html
{% block hero %}
<!-- Add custom hero here -->
{% endblock %}
```
