- Click on the correct property (ie. www.domain.com or http://domain.com)

- Go to your crawl error spreadsheet and click the bad URL and double-check that it indeed redirects.
- Find the URL that you just tested in the list of crawl errors, check the box and then click the red “mark as fixed” button.
