hide .html extension
When published the site editor adds .html page extensions to all pages other than the home page. It would be great to automatically rewrite the URLs to hide these.
This creates SEO benefits and makes the URLs easier to communicate to users.

Hello Louisa,
You can setup a redirect directly on your dashboard. Click on the settings icon for the site in question, then choose the redirect tab.
Be sure to publish after setting up the 301 redirects.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with.

Hello,
We don't have a way to remove the .html yet from the site, but there is a workaround that you can use for specific pages in your site.
In settings on your dashboard, you can set up 301 redirects. So if you have a specific page in your site you want to send users to, you can set up a redirect so that www.mysite.com/about will lead to www.mysite.com/about.html

Any updates on this? It's a shame that you get an 404 page when you forget the .html
It is a lot easier for people to remember to go to www.mysite.com/about then www.mysite.com/about.html
