    Redirect [301] old URLs to the new ones. This will transfer PR/Link-Juice from old pages to the new ones and will avoid duplicate content issue.

    Thanks is there any configuration section on google webmaster tools to redirect each link to new one(I couldn't see it) or Do I have to do that with .htaccess file ?
