> Last reviewed by Netlify Support - August, 2023 If you’re building a Single Page Application (SPA), or an app that manages its own routes (url paths), you’ll want to add a \_redirects file to your [publish directory](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/overview/#definitions-1) with the following line to take advantage of browser history pushstate: /\* /index.html 200 You can read more information in our docs, which can be found [here](https://docs.netlify.com/routing/redirects/rewrites-proxies/#history-pushstate-and-single-page-apps).

If that doesn’t resolve this or if there are any questions, please reply here anytime.
