Hi, I added redirect() to my code and it doesn't seem to redirect to the desired endpoint when clicked. window.location.href = URL seems to work but I'm unsure what I did wrong with the former. I am directing from /docs/api to /docs/api/:id, could such be causing the issue? Thanks

redirect() is not server-only but it needs to be caught by a React error boundary for the redirect to work. onClick is not under a React error boundary, so redirect() doesn't work there. use router.push instead

What's the code you're using in your redirect

Might want to try router.push

Or just stick with window.location

It's within an onClick event

@Bee It's within an `onClick` event

I would use router.push for that

I think redirect() is server-only
