Invert canonicals?

[AdrienLargus]

Hi,

We have 2 sites, site A and site B. For now, some of our articles are duplicated on site B with rel canonicals towards site A.

Starting now, Site B will be the main site for this category, we'll only post the content on this site.

We will keep the old content on site A. But what do you think will happen if we invert the canonicals for the old articles? They would go towards site B. Would google eventually update its index, a bit like it would do for a redirect?

Thanks !

If you change signals, Google will pick them up. They much prefer to see change than content being incorrectly handled.
