Updating the FAQ, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service pages in Discourse can help ensure that your [community guidelines](https://meta.discourse.org/guidelines) and policies are up-to-date and reflect the current standards.

## Editing the FAQ, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service Topics

The FAQ, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service pages are each created as a topic where they can be directly edited and discussed.

If you want to redirect these pages to external URLs, use the following site settings:

- `faq url`
- `privacy policy url`
- `tos url`

## Additional Information

### Changing Permalinks

You cannot currently change the routes `/faq` and `/tos`. It’s possible using a plugin, but not through built-in settings.

### Multiple Route Synonyms

There are multiple route synonyms for `/faq`:

```js
this.route("faq");
this.route("guidelines");
this.route("conduct");
this.route("rules");

```

Feel free to make hyperlinks using any of these synonyms.

> ℹ Note: If you set the `faq url` site setting to redirect `/faq` to an external URL, the `/guidelines`, `/rules`, and `/conduct` routes will still display the built-in guidelines topic rather than redirecting.
