The Keyword Redirects page in Workbench is not project-aware. When you open Keyword Redirects, you see a message in the projects box of the toolbar indicating that you are not working in a project. Therefore, any updates that you make and save on the Keyword Redirects page are not isolated in a project. The updates are immediately committed to the current site. You do not have to publish a project to commit these changes as you would if you were updating a site in Experience Manager.

Projects can, however, have an effect on keyword redirect behavior if you change a page's location. If you have configured a keyword to redirect users to a specific page, and that page is moved or deleted in a project, the move or deletion is not committed until that project is published.
