Redirection question

[AllIsWell]

On  pages being 301 directed what should be done about the copy on the old page?

1. leave the copy up on the page being 301 redirected?

2. delete the copy on the page?

3. Have  a link pointing to the new url with a short note saying if not redirected to the page in 5 seconds?

If the redirection is made at the server level via a .htaccess file, then the server will never serve the original (old) copy of the page.

This means you can do whatever you want with it, as it will never be shown!

Thanks, appreciate your prompt response.

Leaving the old pages alone than is a time saver.
